The Bonsmara breed was developed in South Africa during the 1930s and 1940s as a composite breed, carefully combining 5/8 Afrikaner, 3/16 Shorthorn, and 3/16 Hereford genetics. This blend resulted in a breed specifically adapted to the demanding South African environment, known for its high fertility, exceptional hardiness, remarkable adaptability to harsh conditions, good temperament, and efficient beef production.
