After the second Boer War a young man rode back to his wife who had stayed on her parent’s land with them, to find they had been taken into camps and later died.
With no other family, the land became his to build a farm.
Feeling it would be disrespectful to their memory for the farm to take his own name, he named it after the horse that had brought him home: Hartlam.
Our Story
Triple G Farms CC is located on Hartlam and the adjoining farm, Broken Hill.
It is a family owned and operated cattle and beef farming operation near Reitz and Petsana in the Eastern Free State.o add your own text and edit me. I’m a great place for you to tell a story and let your users know a little more about you.
Our Guiding Principles
We breed cattle and let them grow in a free ranging environment without added hormones or routine antibiotics. We are a founding member of the Grassfed Association of South Africa.
We only process beef from our cattle that are born on our farm and which we sell directly to consumers.
Our Farm
Our farm comprises 1300Ha. To improve the quality of our planted pastures and veld which would enable us to grow our herds, we started a program of developing mixed species pastures with the help of a biological farming consultant, which also reduced the need for chemical fertilisers.
Our Cattle
We are a registered Angus stud breeder. Our philosophy is that top quality cattle and top quality meat start with top quality genetics.
Starting with strong Bovelder genetic base over a decade ago, we purchased stud Angus bulls from top Angus breeders throughout the country as well as using AI.
Our Meat
We take pride in being able to produce excellent quality meat, from carefully selected animals from our breeding herds that were born on our farm.
They are humanely slaughtered and then processed in our accredited meat processing facility on the farm.
Water for livestock is a constant challenge for farmers. To make sure our cattle were healthy, we wanted to give them access to both borehole water and dam or river vlei water.
Our farm had numerous boreholes but few windmills. Running generators with electrical pumps was time and labour consuming and costly. The first solar pump system we installed was stolen.
