Welcome to Triple C Feedlot

This high standard feedlot was established in 1969 by Izak Crafford. He bought the farm Maybole in that year as a bare piece of land with only an old farmhouse as improvement on the farm.

From relative modest beginnings, this operation went from strength to strength.

Triple C Feedlot was bought in 2008 by AFT Property Trust from Crafcor Farming when the late Mr. Crafford decided to finally retire. 

Today Triple C Feedlot consists of a feedlot with 25 000 cattle, with its own feed factory and a state of the art processing facility. 

Backgrounding is done on approximately 5 000 ha and maize is planted on 1 200 ha, mainly for the production of silage. 

The group owns a game farm which is used for the benefit of the family. The group loves nature and is very focused on conservation.

The group also acquired an abattoir 40km away from the main operation. Triple C Meats are now distributors of high quality meat, produced in the group’s feedlots.

The group business ethos is based on their slogan; “We live beef so that South Africans can love beef”.
