Founded in 2018, BeefGen was established in response to the growing global demand for premium livestock genetics. From the beginning, our focus has been to deliver exceptional-quality cattle to international markets. In the early years, our founders — Patrick Lane and Alex Feng — travelled extensively across regions, building trusted relationships with breeders and clients, and identifying opportunities to connect world-class genetics with emerging global markets.
In 2019, BeefGen successfully completed its first major consignment, transporting nearly 4,000 New Zealand Angus breeding cattle to China. Every stakeholder involved worked tirelessly to ensure animal welfare, and the cattle arrived in excellent condition, setting a benchmark for quality and professionalism in live export.
Since then, BeefGen has supported numerous clients in sourcing large-scale consignments of livestock from both Australia and New Zealand. Rooted deeply in New Zealand’s agricultural heritage, we take pride in our origins. We understand and appreciate the dedication of breeders who strive to achieve genetic excellence, and our mission is to help them bring that quality to the world.
