The foundation
Built on one herd, and years of selection.
Every animal we sell traces back to a single herd we have bred and refined season after season — for milk yield, udder health, and the calm temperament that makes daily farming easier. That patient work stands behind every animal that leaves our farm.
Shaped by the Githunguri highlands.
Healthy pasture makes healthy herds, and healthy herds make a stronger farm. What grazes in our fields is the product of years of careful stewardship — and the starting point for the genetics you bring home.

Common questions
Dairy farming in Kenya, answered.
- How much milk does a Friesian cow produce per day?
- A well-bred Holstein-Friesian (often spelled "freshian") on a proper feeding programme produces about 45–50 litres of milk per day. Yield depends on genetics first, then feed, water, and comfort — our Githunguri herd is bred and fed specifically to reach that range.
- Where can I buy dairy cows in Githunguri or Kiambu?
- Sameer Breeders sells dairy cattle directly from our farm in Githunguri, Kiambu County — the heart of Kenya's dairy country. We stock in-calf heifers, freshly-calved cows, and performance-tested breeding bulls, all health-checked and records-backed.
- Which dairy breed produces the most milk in Kenya?
- The Holstein-Friesian is the highest-volume dairy breed, producing 45–50 litres a day at the top end. Ayrshires (25–30 L) and Jerseys (20–25 L) give less volume but richer, higher-butterfat milk — a better fit for some smallholder and semi-zero-grazing systems.
- How do I start dairy farming in Kenya?
- Start with genetics you can measure: buy in-calf heifers or cows from a records-backed herd rather than unimproved stock. Then build a feeding plan around quality forage plus dairy meal, provide clean water and comfort, and keep production records. We help new farmers choose the right animals and set up for the yield they want.
