OUR PROPERTY    

The Farm Lichtenstein West is situated some 30km south-west of the capital Windhoek. The landscape is hilly with high mountains, a wide variety of grasses, shrubs and trees. The average rainfall per year is 350 mm with occasional severe frost in the winter. The Simmentaler stud is kept free ranging with weekly camp rotation under these conditions. Only minerals are supplemented throughout the year.

STUD HISTORY

The Lichtenstein Stud is one of the oldest Simmentaler studs in Namibia. It originates from Simmental cattle imported from Germany in 1895. The present owners are the third generation in the family tending the stud.
