Customer Testimonials

 Customer Journey by Jabulani and Emmanuel Dhliwayo – Zimbabwe

Update 20.10.22: OUR OKB bull is breaking all records here. He is set to score more than 60 calves in one season. As I type he stands at 50 calves. What a bull. THANK YOU!

Our Journey to purchase a bull from Okabra started with our fascination with how organised and complete Namibian brahman EBVs were. My brother and I would then search on the internet for the top brahman studs in Namibia. This is when Okabra brahman stud came into light. We liked the fact that the EBVs of their animals were complete unlike the EBVs of other studs from southern Africa. So to cut the long story short; what makes Okabra Brahmans Special? Firstly it is the way the Okabra team  communicates with its clients. We bought our bull online and when we were doing our homework the OKB team understood what we wanted and recommended the exact animal for consideration on the day of the auction. It is not easy to make a bull purchase decision based on pictures and videos without seeing the animal in the flesh. Well, team OKB listens to customers and potential customers. Team OKB makes both online and onsite purchase on auction day easier. Why? They communicate exhaustively with clients. The second reason why we would recommend Okabra brahmans to future SADC clients is the support infrastructure. Once you purchase from them the OKB team takes care of your animals and helps with the quarantine and export requirements. The communication is constant until the animal reaches your farm and thereafter. Thirdly, it is all about the Animal you are buying, they sell the best. We wanted a Bull with low birthweight EBVs, high fat EBVs, a fertile dam, strong head, short in stature, and extremely mascular. We got that and more. When the bull arrived he matched and to a larger degree exceeded our expectations.
