Farmer Success Stories

Dr. Jack Els

Head vet at Wild Free Jackals

"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 and all the while reducing livestock losses to near zero. This program should be implemented on every farm in the country. As they are tailored breeding pairs, on farms where they repopulating with jackal, the results are exciting as after critical mass they increase exponentially! With the great support we have had from the community, in both time and donations, we are planning to further expand our program to include Rooikat (phase 2) and other valuable predators."

Johan van der Merwe

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 so much. These jackals are the best farm hands I've ever hired!"

Jackie

Released Jackal, Class of 2024

"I use my specialist program ‘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!"

Michael J. Venter

Wildlife farmer, Namibia

"After years of struggling to repopulate our concessions with jackal, Wild Free Jackals has been outstanding in their service and ability, with our jackal population near to extinction now up to estimated 558 breedings pairs. Its a true sight to see them care free in the wild"
