Why ostriches

Ostrich meat - Premium choice

A tender, lean and healthy piece of ostrich steak has all the taste, colour and texture of beef steak - but with significantly less fat and cholesterol. High in protein and low in calories, ostrich makes the perfect red meat alternative in an increasingly health-conscious world.

Ostrich leather is supple, luxurious and hard wearing.
Fashion houses have turned to this leather for its excellent qualities in the use of shoes, jackets, handbags, belts and wallets. Ostrich leather has a unique and distinctive pattern.
The natural oils inherent in ostrich skin make this leather much more resistant to cracking, stiffening and drying.

Ostriches produce some of the world’s finest meat, leather, feathers, oil and they do so at unprecedented levels of efficiency.
Ostriches are far more prolific and efficient than cattle. The productivity of ostriches varies widely, but even a conservative estimate of 20 offspring yearlings a year, based on annual production of 40-50 eggs, compares more favorably than cattle productivity.
