Our Services
Breeding Herds
At Stripes Breeders we specialize in impala breeding, focusing on traits such as horn thickness and length, body posture, size, and adaptability. Our work includes breeding common, black, saddle-back, and white-flank impalas, along with various other variants. We focus on enhancing these characteristics by optimizing genetic combinations to produce visually striking and resilient impalas. Our approach balances aesthetic appeal and practicality, ensuring that our herds thrive in diverse ecological and economic environments, reflecting the company's commitment to excellence.
Breeding Rams
At Stripes Breeders we prioritize enhancing the gene pool of our ram herds through selective breeding of our own rams and the purchase of new stock. We also introduce different females from outside sources to increase genetic diversity. Key traits of focus include horn thickness, horn length, body posture, body size, and adaptability. By breeding various rams, including common, black, saddle-back, and white-flank impalas, they cultivate robust herds that thrive in diverse environments, combining aesthetic appeal with resilience.
Capture Methods
Passive capturing of impalas within a bouma system is an effective and humane method for managing wildlife populations. This technique employs enclosures that seamlessly integrate into the natural habitat, allowing impalas to enter with minimal stress. Utilizing an enclosure with gates, this system guides them into designated areas for health assessments and genetic studies, ensuring welfare while promoting sustainable population management and conservation efforts in their ecosystems. Animals are darted by a qualified veterinarian for assessments and capturing for transportation.
Purchase Methods
Stripes Breeders offers game animals for sale through special requests, featuring a range of high-quality stock. These animals are marketed on the company website, our Facebook experience, and through dedicated game sales representatives and agencies at local auctions. Emphasizing animal welfare, Stripes Breeders aims to minimize stress during the sales process, ensuring clients can purchase healthy, robust animals. This focus on quality care not only enhances the buying experience but also promotes ethical practices in wildlife management and breeding for optimal customer satisfaction.
