| BREEDING CAMP |
 |
| |
Specialized Breeders has a 1,500 ha. Intensive camp breeding system with a fully electrified 2.4 meter fence.
The camp is divided into 16 different areas, in order to be able to efficiently work with different herds and with a wide variety of wildlife species. The camp is located in the beautiful extends of the Rietfontein Farm (3,000 ha.), 10 kilometers from the Venetia diamond mine in the Limpopo Province.
60 km from Musina and 30 km from aldays, Limpopo, South Africa; the area is well known for being disease free as well as for its rich-grass vegetation, which provides breeding camps with a high carrying capacity that contain and high levels of nutrients. 78% of the more than 9,000 wildlife farms in S.A. are located in semi-dry zones, a situation that blocks the spread of disease.
Specialized Breeders camp management conducts a daily basis operation which ensures the wellbeing of every single animal inside the camp. Monitoring the camp facilities and providing animals with the best quality feed and water is part of this daily operation. Static wildlife cameras are used and controlled by camp management in order to efficiently monitor herds.

| OPERATIONAL RESOURCES |
|
| |
We count on different trucks for transport within the camp. Heavy duty tools. Work gear. Helicopter (rented) for aerial scanning of the camp. Tractor bulldozer. And plenty of farm equipment.
Since we are relatively far from the city we can also mention the basics for any operation: water, electricity, along with some equipment that works on solar energy, phone, first aid kit, computers with internet connection, radio and other electronic devices.

|
| NATURE CONSERVATION PERMITS |
|
| |
Every wildlife breeding company operation and camp, including SB's, must be approved by the Nature conservations regulations. SB is an approved company and counts with every permit required for its operation: applicable export / import permits between Northern Cape and other provinces; camp approval permits.

|
| WILDLIFE INSURANCE |
|
| |
SB has a strong relationship with "Darsha Insurance" which is located in Kimberley, Belgravia, lodge road 9. Insurance covers up to 80% of the total value. There are additional insurance options that include animal stress, fire, specific diseases and so on.

|
| OTHER BREEDERS |
|
| |
We have shaken hands with most of the wildlife breeders around the country, and keep good relationships with them. It is an industry wide in profits but narrow in members. We understand that mutual cooperation between individuals within the business is crucial to the success of what we do. Therefore we give our upmost attention to the politics between different breeding companies and us.
