Our Story

Our History

Beefcor was started in 1973, forming part of Incorporated Cold Storage as part of the red meat division.

Initially only 1000 head of cattle were fed at Gouda Feedlot, as it was originally known, this number grew over the years to where we market over 70 000 cattle per year.

The name Beefcor Feedlot was adopted in 1996.
Beefcor (Pty) Ltd was created.

The senior management of the red meat division got the opportunity to do a management buy-out of various assets.

Beefcor rebranded to create a recognisable brand in the industry.
Equity transaction completed between the Al Mabroor fund and Beefcor management.
