Our divisions
FARMING
Where mastery begins.
The foundation of the ecosystem — built on generations of experience and responsible sourcing. We work closely with trusted farmers, many of them shareholders, so every partner meets our standards from the outset. Integrity is established at source, and full traceability begins here.
ABATTOIR
Where quality is verified and trust is secured.
Established in 1998, our high-throughput abattoir is where precision and control meet. Independent classification and grading run through IMQAS with SAMIC, with HAS quality-control methods maintaining precision at every step. Advanced tracking connects every stage — reliable regional supply for our own operations and external trade partners.
PRIMAL PLANT
Precision in every cut.
Our deboning and primal facility is built for precision at scale. From traceable input to final output we maintain consistency across volumes — supplying frozen boxed cuts and trimmings to key markets across KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Gauteng, cut to customer spec.
SMOKEHOUSE
Tradition perfected.
Rooted in a traditional German smokehouse, where time-tested recipes and natural smoking methods are still applied today — without relying on additives. From everyday staples to specialised deli products, the same care is maintained at scale, and bespoke recipes are welcome.
BUTCHERY SUPPLIES
Supporting the craft behind the counter.
Sole distributor of Crown National in Northern KwaZulu-Natal. From casings, spices and marinades to packaging, tools, equipment and cleaning materials — consistently sourced and available, with practical advice on recipes, meat blocks and costings, plus hands-on staff training.

From factory to fork.
Where mastery meets the customer — through Meatmasters Butchery and our ROOTS® partnerships. Fresh cuts, processed and speciality products, all shaped by the same standards that run through the value chain. Everyday essentials or custom requests: cut to order, every time.
For trade buyers
The full-load programme
Commit to full loads and we commit to you — predictable supply, locked pricing, delivered to your door anywhere in the country.
One load. Your spec. Best price.
- A full load = 12–14 pallets ≈ 150 pig carcasses ≈ 13 tonnes
- We cut the whole load — about 150 pigs — into any spec you want, to your cutting list
- Take everything that comes off 150 pigs and you get our best price
- Delivered nationwide — anywhere in South Africa
- Fully traceable, farm to fork
Whole deboned carcass — cut to your spec
Take the whole animal deboned to your own cutting list: a balanced mix at one blended price, nothing wasted, and the carcass keeps moving. Ideal for wholesalers and processors.

Reference
How to read the grades
Pork — PORCUS fat class
SA pork classification ranks carcasses best to worst (leanest to fattest):
P → O → R → C → U → S
Our carcasses grade almost entirely P and O across every stream. S is the sausage class (sow & boar) for manufacturing.
Beef — grade & fat code
A youngest & most tender, then AB, B, C (mature, deepest flavour). The number (e.g. A2) is the fat code, 0 (lean) to 6 (fat).
Lamb & Mutton
Lamb grades A2 / A3 — young & tender. Mutton AB · B · C — mature, fuller flavour. Supplied whole, sides or selected cuts to order.
Cut specs
BIRO — whole primal, minimally trimmed. DDD — deboned & fully trimmed to spec. SQ — square-cut. 90/10 · 80/20 · 60/40 — trim by lean-to-fat ratio.
Questions, answered
Working with us
Can I start small before committing to full loads?
Yes — start with a single trial order. Same spec and standards as any order, delivered to you. Most trade partners begin this way, then scale to the full-load programme.
What’s your minimum order?
Flexible. We run a full-load programme (≈150 carcasses / 13 tonnes) for the best pricing, but we’ll quote single boxes, primals or a trial order to get started.
Where do you deliver?
Full loads anywhere in South Africa, with regular regional distribution across KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Gauteng.
Can you cut to my exact spec?
Yes. Any primal, bone-in/rind-on (BIRO), deboned and trimmed (DDD), square-cut (SQ) or trim by lean-to-fat ratio — pork, beef and lamb, cut to your cutting list.
How is pricing handled?
Quote on request. Our best price comes from taking the full yield of a load — about 150 pigs — cut to any spec you want. Chat to Tobie about what suits you.
How do I get a pricelist or place an order?
