History
The Sanganer is a new breed created in Africa for the purpose of being a damline breed as it has been declared that there are not enough in the country. It has been created using the Africander and the Nguni both of which are indiginous breeds well suited to that enviroment.

So this new breed has been bred to be highly economical and highly fertile, that will increase in demand across all African states.
South Africa is a country of extremes, not only as far as the climate is concerned, but also in respect of stock disease and topography. Forage production is also becoming too expensive so all of these issues are being tackled.
There are high expectations regarding the Sanganer at this stage those expectations are certainly being satisfied.
