Saxon Beef

Our Farm

Farming Beef Cattle since 1876

Our farm is located near Ficksburg in the Eastern Free State. We farm with beef cattle and have a Simmentaler Stud and commercial beef herd. Our focus is producing quality beef for the market.

Unfortunately, in South Africa, commercial buyers do not pay a premium for quality. This is probably why the taste of meat in shops is not consistent. Price is the only important factor for commercial buyers. Very little attention is given to quality.

A lot of time, effort, dedication, and money goes into producing quality.

"Quality is not an act, it is a habit" - Aristotle

Our Story

What we do

At Saxon Park, the cattle are raised on the veldt, and no growth hormones are used. Everything that is fed to the cattle is produced on the farm. The meat is 'single farm origin'. In other words, bred, born, and raised on the farm. The animals are exposed to less stress.

To us, farming is not just a job. It's our life.
