You really get to know a breed when it’s 40 degrees, the wind’s hot, and the grass is crispy. That’s Boran country.
Across East Africa, Boran were shaped in places where heat isn’t a bad day, it’s the norm. Long dry seasons. Hard ground. Parasites. Big distances between water.
The longer you are in the cattle industry, the more you realise that fertility is the trait that quietly drives almost everything else. Not just because fertile cows produce more calves, but because fertility influences cashflow, drought resilience, labour requirements, replacement rates and long-term herd profitability.
