LRF

The LRF (Livestock Registering Federation) was established in the year 2000, following the release of the Animal Improvement Act (Act No. 62 of 1998), which enabled societies to keep their own animal records and performance data. The founding members of the LRF were the Simmental/Simbra, Brahman, Santa Gertrudis and SA Holstein societies. Thereafter, several other societies joined the LRF and today the LRF serves 9 beef cattle societies in South Africa (40% of all registrations in South Africa), 38 societies in Namibia (of which 22 are beef cattle societies), as well as 24 societies in Zimbabwe ( of which 15 are beef cattle societies). The LRF serves as a mouthpiece for all these societies. However, each society's independence, in terms of own management and functioning, is not changed with participation in the LRF... Today, the LRF is a recognized organization within the agricultural sector and its representatives serves on various organizations, e.g. the Red Meat Producer..
