Beefmaster Group (Pty) Ltd is a leading specialist producer of quality beef products to South Africa, the Middle- and Far East, and beyond. We are involved in the entire value chain, from rearing and farming cattle to delivering meat-based products to customers.
This requires many fundamentals that are not traditionally agricultural, such as fleet management of road trucks, earth-moving equipment, cattle health and feed, meat cutting and packaging, and fully-equipped workshops.
Our most valuable resources are our people. When you choose to work for us, you can be confident that we will care about your wellbeing and continually invest in your development, because we believe in looking after our staff. Many of our people started in minimum wage jobs and have climbed the ranks to management.
We believe that all cattle breeds have the potential to deliver exceptional beef products. We forge strong relationships with both established and emerging farmers to access a variety of cattle, regardless of breed, helping farmers boost the quality and sustainability of their herds by offering training, mentorship programmes and offtake agreements, amongst others.
Our state-of-the-art technology and world-class facilities allow us to customise and “produce to order” for some of the biggest players in the food industry. Our traceability system allows us to track and trace our beef throughout the supply chain. This means we can confidently promise a quality end product. Our exceptional team of trained staff, operating in line with the highest possible safety standards, enables us to be a trusted supplier and partner. This is because we work together with one common goal: To do beef best.
Karan Beef aspires to maintain its distinction as the premier supplier of the highest quality beef and beef products available in South Africa and to continue to assume the leadership role in setting the benchmark of quality for the South African beef industry. Karan Beef seeks to be recognised for the commitment of its people to the highest standards of productivity, hygiene, house keeping and general maintenance. Karan Beef desires to position itself for sustainable growth in line with the demand by its consumers. Our roots are planted firmly in the soil, it is both our heritage and our future. When we first began feedlotting on the Karan family farm our herd numbered less than 100 head of cattle. But that was way back in 1974. Over the years the capacity of our feedlot has increased to accommodate over 120 000 head of cattle - making the Karan Beef feedlot the largest in Africa. The past twenty five years has seen great changes at our Heidelberg farm, just south of Johannesburg in South Africa, as it has expanded to accommodate the changing needs of our blossoming feedlot business. Our purchase of three adjoining farms increased the overall size of our estate to 2330 hectares - not only accommodating the growing feedlot, but also allowing for the evolution of our facilities into a fully integrated business unit. This expansion has also allowed us to establish a game farm and wetland eco-development which has become a significant attraction in its own right and now plays home to one of the widest selections of water fowl found anywhere in Southern Africa. As our business grew we undertook the construction of the largest Feedmill of its kind in the world. Making use of the very best design techniques and technology available, our Feedmill now occupies an area of 15 000 square meters and is capable of producing up to 1 500 tons of mixed feeds per day. With the changing face of the deregulated South African meat industry we were able to purchase an abattoir in the town of Balfour. This facility is close to the ...
