Sell your game meat for more. We do the rest.

Your price per kilogram is negotiated for your farm and put in writing before a single animal is loaded. We bring the permits, the marksmen, the meat inspector, the cold truck and the abattoir booking — and the buyer is already waiting. Whether your meat comes off a cull, a hunting season, a harvest or a herd you run for the pot, we'll sell it properly.

A representative phones you within 24 hours. No cost. No obligation.

The problem

Why does game meat pay so badly?

Only about one kilogram in ten ever reaches the formal market. The rest goes at the gate for R20–R40 — not because the meat is worth so little, but because three things stand between you and the buyers who pay properly.

01 · The permits

Paperwork across five departments

Nine provinces, nine sets of rules. Harvest permits, transport permits, CAE certificates, night-cull permissions. One document wrong and your load can be treated as poached game.

02 · The abattoirs

About 62 in the whole country

Out of roughly 578 registered abattoirs, only about 62 handle game — and some provinces have almost none. Without a booked slot and a cold truck, the formal market stays closed to you.

03 · The volumes

Buyers want meat every week

Retail and export contracts run on steady weekly volume. Your offtake comes in batches — a cull, a season, a destock. No single operation can carry that contract alone.

Here is our offer.

Register your operation. Within 24 hours, one of our representatives phones you to understand your farm — which animals you carry, what the harvest will need, what you can supply yourself — and negotiates the best price for you, put in writing. If you accept, we handle all of this:

Included with every harvest
  • All permits and certificates

    Harvest, transport and night-cull permits — and your CAE if you don't have one yet. Our responsibility, not yours.

  • Vetted, professional marksmen

    ID-checked, insured and registered. They shoot to inspection standard, so carcasses pass instead of being condemned.

  • Meat inspection on site

    A registered inspector works the harvest with the team. Your meat leaves the property already documented and cleared.

  • Cold trucks to your gate

    Refrigerated collection, wherever you farm. No cold-room account, no generator diesel, no spoilage risk on your side.

  • Abattoir slot, booked and paid

    We keep the relationships with the game abattoirs that exist, and plan around the provinces where there are none.

  • A buyer already secured

    Your meat joins volume from dozens of operations — the steady weekly supply that earns retail and export prices no farm reaches alone.

  • Biosecurity on every visit

    Closed teams, disinfection in and out, full traceability. Your property's disease status is protected — our business depends on it as much as yours does.

  • Skins and by-products included

    Hides and by-products are counted and paid for. They don't leave quietly on someone else's bakkie.

Your upfront cost for all of it:
R0

Have your own hunters, cold room, slaughter facility or refrigerated transport? Then we pay you more per kilogram. Every part of the chain you handle yourself is a cost we don't carry — and the saving goes to you, not to us. Tell us what you have and we build the deal around it.

Who we buy from

If you've got game meat, we've got a buyer.

Every operation produces meat differently. The deal gets built around yours.

Game farmers & ranchers

Surplus animals, management offtake, or a herd run for meat

Numbers, dates and price agreed before the season starts — so the meat income is something you can budget on, not hope for.

Hunting outfitters & PHs

Your clients take the trophy. The carcass is yours.

That meat is probably leaving the property for next to nothing. We collect around your hunt schedule, away from your clients, and pay you per kilogram — a second income from animals that have already been paid for once.

Reserves & conservancies

Population management, properly documented

Planned offtake with full paperwork and traceability — and the meat money flows back into the reserve, not into a middleman's pocket.

Harvesting & culling teams

You have the volumes. We have the chain.

Bring your teams and your numbers. We bring the compliance, the cold chain and buyers who need exactly that volume. Come talk to us.

To be clear: this does not touch your hunting or live-sale income. Hunt, breed and auction as you always have. We pay you for the meat — the one part of the business that has been leaving the farm too cheap for years.

Security & trust

Who comes onto your land?

People with rifles on your property at night is no small thing. The whole operation is built around that fact.

Closed, vetted teams

Every team member is ID-verified, background-checked and insured. The same crew comes back, harvest after harvest — you'll greet them by name.

You set the rules

You approve the dates, the routes and the camps. Gate policy, notice to your workers, where they may and may not go — written into the harvest plan before anyone arrives.

Weighed in front of you

Every carcass is weighed and graded with you or your manager standing there, and documented on the spot. The remittance holds no surprises.

Payment terms on paper

Price per kilogram, payment date and terms in a signed agreement before the harvest. Paid in __ days — a number we are contractually bound to.

Praat gerus Afrikaans met ons. Die span is tweetalig, en jou skakelpersoon is 'n mens wat die bedryf ken — nie 'n call centre nie.

How it works

Your part takes three minutes.

Step 1

Register — form or WhatsApp

Eight short questions about your operation, your species and your numbers. From your phone, tonight.

Step 2

A representative phones you

Within 24 hours, someone who knows the industry — not a call centre. They go through your farm with you: which species, what numbers, what the harvest will need. Then they negotiate the best price for you and put it in writing.

Step 3

Say yes. Get paid.

We schedule the harvest, run everything on your terms, and pay in __ days — a date on paper, not a promise over the phone.

Your side of it: one form and one yes.

Our guarantee

If our written price doesn't beat your current buyer, walk away.

No registration fee. No exclusivity. No lock-in. Do one harvest with us and sell the rest wherever you always have. We only earn when you earn more — there is no other way we get paid.

Fair questions

Ask us straight.

What's the catch?

The margin. We take a stated cut on meat we actually sell for you — shown to you in writing before you agree to anything. No sale, no fee. And if we can't beat your current price after our cut, we'll say so. Then at least you know what your meat is worth.

I'm an outfitter — my clients only take the trophy. How does this work for me?

The carcass is yours to sell, and right now it's probably going for a fraction of its value. We schedule collection around your hunts, keep our people away from your clients, and pay you per kilogram on the same written terms as everyone else. Think of it as a second season running quietly underneath the first.

I run kudu, impala and blesbok — cloven-hoofed. With foot-and-mouth around, can you even move that?

Within the country, yes — with the right veterinary movement permits, which we arrange. This is exactly where the paperwork earns its keep: full traceability protects your property's disease status if there's ever a scare in your district. Export is currently limited to ostrich, crocodile and zebra — so if you carry zebra or ostrich, tell us. They fetch export prices.

My offtake is small and irregular.

That's fine. Pooling is the whole point — your 40 animals join volumes from dozens of other operations. Small and seasonal producers are exactly who this was built for.

There's no game abattoir anywhere near me.

You're not alone — some provinces barely have one. Working around that gap is our job, with field harvesting and refrigerated transport. Give us your nearest town and we'll tell you honestly whether we can reach you yet.

Why do you ask about ammunition?

Lead fragments spread far beyond the wound channel, and that meat gets trimmed or condemned at inspection — your money on the floor. Lead-free harvesting keeps more of the carcass and opens premium lines. If you're shooting lead, we'll help you switch. It affects the price, never whether we'll work with you.

Am I committing to anything by registering or asking for an estimate?

No. Registering gets you a phone call from a representative who takes the time to understand your operation. Nothing binds you until you agree to a specific harvest, in writing.

The meat leaves your property either way.
The question is what you get paid for it.

Three minutes of your time. A call within 24 hours from someone who knows the industry. A price negotiated for your farm and put in writing. At worst, you'll know what your meat is worth.
