Custodians of the Brahman Breed in Zimbabwe

The Brahman Breeders Society of Zimbabwe is the official home of pedigree Brahman cattle in Zimbabwe. Affiliated to the Zimbabwe Herd Book (ZHB) and the Brahman Breeders' Society of South Africa, the Society registers pedigrees, appoints inspectors, nominates qualified judges and promotes sales of Brahman cattle nationwide.

From the Eastern Highlands to Matabeleland, our registered breeders produce cattle renowned for adaptability, hardiness, fertility and unmatched mothering ability.
