Jan Holliday – ClarkZaan Simmentalers

Richard Branson, the world famous businessman said: “If your dream does not scare you, don’t dream!”
With these wise words, Jan Holliday commenced with the Simmentaler stud in 2014 after his father, also Jan Holliday, passed away, having farmed with cross-bred Simmentalers for more than five decades. The young stud has in recent times survived the worst drought in the history of South Africa (2015, 2016) thanks to the quality of the animals which were kept here on Palmietfontein, Wolmaransstad, North West Province, South Africa. The anchorage of the stud animals originates from the widely known Jan Hattingh of the famed Salerika Stud.
