D'n buff waterbuffelboerderij

D'n Buff Waterbuffelboerderij is a Dutch family-run farm located in Boxtel that specializes in raising grey-black water buffaloes for milk production. Founded by Frens and Wendy van Oirschot after ten years of dairy cattle farming, the business transitioned to this niche sector in October 2018 to ensure future succession for their sons while avoiding bulk market competition.

• Operations: The farm houses a herd of 160 buffaloes on its Nergena property and utilizes two automated robots for milking without human intervention.
• Sustainability: Animals are kept healthy with minimal antibiotic use due to the species' natural resistance to illness, and they enjoy exclusive access to a large swimming pool.
• History: The first animals were imported from Scotland in October 2018, followed shortly by additional stock from Czechia to expand the herd.

The operation represents a successful generational shift where the new family members eagerly anticipate taking over the business.
