Product Description

~~The Global Beef Community-Commercial beef farming system is a breakthrough in both beef farming and community upliftment solutions, as it both respects and supports traditional African farming cultures, but uses world-class systems and technologies to radically improve the quality and breeding performance of cattle by employing the most modern, organic specialised grasses and farming techniques, to supply premium quality red meat for local, regional and/or global markets.
The system consists of managing the growth of a calf by a strictly controlled free-range feeding process using specialised grasses, through adulthood, to the abattoir and meat packaging plant. The system incorporates the potential use of a biodigestor for waste management and encompasses effective management, staff training etc.
Global Beef supports the regional rural farmers where they maintain their herds as they have always done, but Global Beef upgrade their cattle to top-quality. Key to the model is the commercial aspect, which uses its profitability to ensure the system is fully sustainable.
The system uses grant funding together with commercial funding to sponsor the delivery of premium cows to raise blue-ribbon calves. Half the calves born are retained by the farmer and the balance farmed by Global Beef, where a portion of the profits generated is used to guarantee sustainability of the community breeding model. The rural farmer can use the proceeds of bullock sales to buy more cows or as a cash generator.
~~The core of the success of the Global Beef business model rests in the fact that the Management Team includes experts with several PhDs, MScs and other agricultural degrees, combined with over **0 years hands-on experience in farming. Their skill set is transferred to capable individuals at each site, whos training may be supplemented by university or other studies to develop their own skill sets.
Global Beef firmly believes in upliftment of the local community to which Global Beef allocates a further share of the profits. Management of the business is done by Global Beef and its appointed consultants. Even though this is essentially a commercial business model, s from the local community and other shareholders are encouraged.
The success of the model is closely tied in with the profitability of Global Beef operations, as it is this cornerstone that supports community upliftment and development. This is not just another take on cattle farming, but rather an integrated, single production system, vertically integrated to offer the highest levels of efficiency and quality control. Since there can be no sustainability without profitability, anticipated threats to the business are taken into account in the planning stages, such that factors like drought and disease are almost totally eliminated.
