Friesian

Our history with Friesians goes back to the very beginning, as Banuti’s first friesians were from his father, Mr. Tinkamanyire Yafesi. The benefits of the Friesians were very evident to Mr. Nuwamanya Barnabas, so he pursued the breed, acquiring seed stock from Brookside Kenya.

To then further improve our herd, we then contacted experts from the United States and begun using imported embryos to avoid inbreeding of existing stock. The embryos were flushed from heavy milker cows and using champion bulls, implanted into surrogate cows at our farms.
