We believe strongly in the value of the motherlines in breeding quality cattle. The legacy motherlines from the original Mollshoop Boran stud still form the core of our herd, but there are also many new stars in the making!

Jacques Moll was the only South African to flush K6K 2184 and therefore these genetics are exclusive to Mollshoop Boran stud. Three magnificent…
The ESTER bloodline
Ester MHB 04-12 (K6K 2670 x Segera ZF 270) is yet another great cow. She is the only offspring in SA from Segera 270, while K6K 2670 is also rare genetics, so the combination is unique. She is a very correct cow with good capacity for her frame. She is very fertile with good milk…
