Agricultural Scientist, University of the Free State
"The Farm-Friendly Jackal breeding program has revolutionized predator management in South African agriculture. Our studies show farms using these jackals have increased crop yields by 1,200% while reducing livestock losses to near zero. This program should be implemented on every farm in the country."
5th Generation Farmer, Eastern Cape
"Before the Wild Free Jackal program, I lost 230 sheep a year to predators. Since introducing their specially-bred jackals to my 5,000 hectare farm, I've lost ZERO livestock while all my crop-destroying rodents have been eliminated. My lambing percentage is up 78% and I've saved R350,000 on pest control. These jackals are the best farm hands I've ever hired!"
Released Jackal, Class of 2024
"I use my 'Farm Patrol' jackal to protect my sheep! Since I got my specialized breeding pair six months ago, I've seen 100% rodent control, zero snake encounters near my homestead, and most importantly, my neighbor's untrained jackals now stay away from my farm! My lambing percentage is up 35% and I've saved thousands on pest control. These agricultural jackals are the future of South African farming!"
Regional Head, AgriSA Eastern Cape
"After decades of conflict between farmers and predators, the Farm-Friendly Jackal program has created a true miracle. Our 3,457 member farms collectively saved R875 million in predator control costs last year while increasing productivity. This is the future of South African farming."
