Ghana: US cattle and genetics for beef and dairy development for local food supply in Ghana
Ghana is investing in beef and dairy development for local food supply, and buyers there look to the USA for productive dairy cattle, beef cattle and genetics. TXLG supplies Holstein heifers, pregnant Holsteins, Jersey and crossbred dairy cattle, beef breeds such as Angus and Brahman, plus bovine semen and embryos, prepared to the import protocol agreed with Ghana's Veterinary Services Directorate. With hot, humid tropical conditions, we help match genetics and management to local conditions.
