HISTORY
Founded in 2018, BEEFGEN was established due to the increasing need for premium genetics globally. Our focus was to deliver quality genetics from New Zealand & Australia to international clients. In the early days, our founders, Patrick Lane and Alex Feng travelled extensively to explore the opportunities to connect clients and livestock breeders.
In 2019, BEEFGEN transported the first shipment of nearly 4000 New Zealand Angus breeding cattle to China. Every stakeholder worked tirelessly to ensure the welfare of the animals and they arrived in excellent condition.
Since then, BEEFGEN has helped many clients source large numbers of livestock from New Zealand and Australia now we have expanded the business to South America as well.
Being New Zealand-raised is a strength of our business and we take pride in our roots. We appreciate the efforts breeders go to to ensure the best genetics in their livestock and we are here to help you access the best opportunities on the global stage.
