Eastern Cape & Karoo Specialists
Designed for dry veld, tough winters, and variable grazing quality — where every kilogram of feed must count.
Why Condition Drives Profitable Livestock Production
Body condition is the quickest way to see if your feeding is working. Animals in optimal body condition conceive more easily and maintain stronger pregnancies, rear stronger lambs and calves, and turn feed into kilograms of meat more efficiently. Poor condition costs money at every stage of production.
- Higher fertility and conception rates
- Better lambing and calving percentages
- Heavier weaning weights
- Stronger survival in tough seasons
- Faster growth to market
- Better use of every kilogram of feed
Precision Feeding vs Generic Feed

Sheep & Cattle Nutrition Solutions
Stormcrete provides stage-specific licks and feeds for sheep and cattle so you can keep condition, fertility, and growth on track in every season.
Sheep Nutrition
From flushing and mating, through pregnancy and lambing, to weaning and finishing older ewes, Stormcrete helps you keep ewes and lambs in the right condition for Karoo and Eastern Cape veld. Stage-specific licks support ovulation, milk production, and strong lamb growth off mother and veld.
Cattle Nutrition
PRO-FEED and complementary cattle solutions help cows and growing cattle through the dry season, support better use of low-quality winter grass, and protect body condition so cows rebreed on time and calves keep growing towards market weights.
The Farmer’s Choice for Proven Livestock Performance
Stormcrete combines science, local experience, and one-on-one support to build profitable sheep and cattle feeding systems. We focus on the numbers that matter: conception, lambing and calving %, weaning weights, and kilograms of meat marketed per hectare.

Sheep & Cattle Nutrition Solutions by Production Stage
Stormcrete focuses on the right lick and feed strategy for each stage of production so sheep and cattle stay in the condition they need to perform. Below is how we think about each phase — and where precision feeding protects profit.
Pre-mating
Goals: Lift body condition, stimulate ovulation, prepare rams and bulls for high fertility matings.
Main risks if condition is wrong: Lower ovulation rates, fewer twins, poor semen quality, and a weak start to the breeding season.
How precision feeding helps: Stage-specific flush licks for ewes and cows, and high-quality ram and bull preparation licks, ensure energy, protein, and key minerals are in place before mating starts.
Typical sheep solutions: Flushing licks for ewes and ram prep licks. Typical cattle solutions: Pre-breeding licks to lift condition and fertility.
Mating & Conception
Goals: Maximise conception %, shorten the mating season, and keep rams and bulls working strongly throughout.
Main risks if condition is wrong: Extended mating seasons, more open ewes and cows, weaker lamb and calf crops next season.
How precision feeding helps: Carefully balanced mating licks stabilise energy, protein, and critical trace minerals so conception is supported and animals stay cycling.
Typical sheep solutions: Mating and flushing licks for ewes and rams. Typical cattle solutions: Breeder cow and bull licks during joining.
Early & Mid-Pregnancy
Goals: Maintain steady condition, protect foetus development, avoid losses and re-absorption in early pregnancy.
Main risks if condition is wrong: Early embryonic loss, poor placental development, and ewes or cows slipping in condition before the demanding last trimester.
How precision feeding helps: Balanced maintenance and production licks match veld quality so animals neither lose nor over-gain condition during mid-gestation.
Typical sheep solutions: Gestation licks for singles and multiples. Typical cattle solutions: Cow gestation licks aligned with veld quality.
Late Pregnancy
Goals: Support rapid foetal growth, prepare udder and colostrum, and avoid metabolic diseases and lambing/calving problems.
Main risks if condition is wrong: Pregnancy toxaemia, weak lambs and calves, retained placentas, and difficult births.
How precision feeding helps: Higher-density late gestation licks increase energy and protein where veld no longer meets demand, while minerals support foetal development and colostrum quality.
Typical sheep solutions: Late gestation and twin-bearing ewe licks. Typical cattle solutions: Pre-calving cow and heifer licks.
Lambing & Calving
Goals: Strong, vigorous lambs and calves, easy births, good colostrum intake, and high survival rates under veld conditions.
Main risks if condition is wrong: Weak births, mismothering, dead-on-arrival young, and poor immunity from weak colostrum.
How precision feeding helps: Carefully staged pre-lambing and pre-calving licks are timed to support colostrum, birth weight, and maternal behaviour without pushing animals too fat or too thin.
Typical sheep solutions: Pre-lambing ewe licks and lamb support where needed. Typical cattle solutions: Pre-calving cow licks focusing on minerals and energy balance.
Lactation
Goals: High milk production, strong growth of lambs and calves off their mothers, and protecting dam condition for the next breeding season.
Main risks if condition is wrong: Milk drop, lighter weaners, cows and ewes losing too much condition and struggling to rebreed on time.
How precision feeding helps: Higher-intake production licks and, where necessary, strategic energy supplementation.
Typical sheep solutions: Lactation and twin-rearing licks, creep options where needed. Typical cattle solutions: Cow-calf production licks and strategic PRO-FEED support.
Weaning
Goals: Smooth weaning with minimal check in growth, strong immunity, and weaners ready for the next production step.
Main risks if condition is wrong: Growth setbacks, disease risk, light weaners, and slower feedlot or veld finishing later on.
How precision feeding helps: Transition and grower licks or feeds help lambs and calves adapt from milk to solid feed while keeping growth lines straight.
Typical sheep solutions: Weaner and grower licks. Typical cattle solutions: Weaner and backgrounding licks for veld or crop residues.
Post-weaning Recovery & Finishing
Goals: Recover dams after weaning, finish older ewes or cull cows profitably, and grow young stock efficiently to target weights.
Main risks if condition is wrong: Dams that fail to recover before next mating, slow growth, and animals that take too long to finish or fall out of spec.
How precision feeding helps: Targeted recovery and finishing licks or rations match available roughage and desired growth rates so each kilogram of feed turns into saleable weight.
Typical sheep solutions: Recovery and finishing options for older ewes and lambs. Typical cattle solutions: Backgrounding and finishing support, including PRO-FEED-based programmes.
Dry-Season Strategy & Minerals
Goals: Make the most of low-quality winter grass, hold or improve condition, and avoid mineral deficiencies that damage fertility and immunity.
Main risks if condition is wrong: Animals that come out of winter too thin, delayed breeding, poor lambing and calving, and long-term fertility damage from mineral shortages.
How precision feeding helps: Protein licks unlock poor-quality veld, while balanced mineral packs correct common Karoo and Eastern Cape deficiencies to protect fertility and immune function.

About Stormcrete Animal Feeds
Precision livestock nutrition manufactured in Burgersdorp for Eastern Cape & Karoo farmers.
Who We Serve
Stormcrete works with commercial and emerging sheep and cattle farmers across the Eastern Cape and Karoo. Our clients range from intensive stud operations to large-scale extensive systems on Karoo veld.
Our Approach
We start with the animal and your goals: conception, lambing and calving %, weaning weights, and kilograms produced per hectare. From there we design precision feeding programmes — right feed, right animal, right time — built on science and field data.
Local Manufacturing
Our mill at 23/24 Geyer Street, Burgersdorp, produces feeds that are proven under local conditions. Short feedback loops with farmers mean we can continually refine products to match veld, climate, and genetics.
Partnership, Not Just Product
Stormcrete offers one-on-one technical assessments, ration evaluations, and on-farm visits where needed. We build long-term relationships focused on profit, not short-term feed sales. As your animals and veld change, we adjust the plan with you.
“Condition drives profitable livestock production.”
Every Stormcrete feeding programme is designed to protect and build body condition at each stage — from pre-mating to finishing. When condition is right, fertility, growth, and profitability follow.
