Ryakiremba Ranchers is based in Kiruhura District in Western Uganda. The farm is situated around 250 km from Kampala, the capital of Uganda.

Ryakiremba Ranchers was started as a family venture, which is progressively moving forward in to a fully-fledged commercial venture. In order to become a commercial entity, management have invested in new technology such as a spray race to reduce the threat of diseases. Improvements in water management has seen the ranch remain resilient in recent el Niño weather and protect the livestock.

Ryakiremba Ranchers are breeders of boran cattle and commercial cattle ranching. Additionally activities include the cultivating of local food (Cassava, Matooke), with these products sold in the local markets. Ryakiremba Ranchers dedicated to sustainable beef production, with this being a core purpose and ethos. Have recognised the opportunity to develop organic beef for the Ugandan Market and intend to explore the export market intend to develop feed-lots.

Our vision is to be recognised as a contributor to sustainable development. In order to have a greater impact on the community and attract international investors to Uganda, the ranch is an active member of Reline Farmers Group. Reline is a group of ambitious farmers working together to influence policy, improve farming methods and boost investment in farming within Uganda.

Ancient rock paintings and depictions of Ankole-Watusi cattle have been observed in the Sahara region and in the Egyptian arts and pyramid walls. The variety called the Sanga has spread to the Sudan, Uganda, Kenya, and other parts of eastern Africa, becoming the base stock of many of the indigenous African populations. The Sanga demonstrated most of the typical Zebu characteristics, such as pendulous dewlap and sheath, upturned horns, and a neck hump of variable size. Modern descendants of the Sanga, however, vary greatly in size, conformation, and horns, due to differing selection pressures by different tribes.

Particularly remarkable are the cattle found in Uganda, Rwanda, and Burundi. In Uganda, the Nkole tribe's Sanga variety is known as the Ankole. In Rwanda and Burundi, the Tutsi tribe's Sanga variety is called the Watusi. The Rwanda common strain of Watusi is called Inkuku. The giant-horned strain, owned by the Tutsi kings and chiefs, is called the Inyambo, though some current tribal reports claim that this type is now extinct. Traditionally, Ankole-Watusi were considered sacred. They supplied milk to the owners, but were only rarely used for meat production, since an owner's wealth was counted in live animals.

Under traditional management for milk production, the Ankole cow is grazed all day, then brought home to her young calf. The calf is allowed to suckle briefly to stimulate milk letdown, then the cow is milked. The calf suckles further after hand-milking has finished and then is separated from its mother again. The process is repeated in the morning. This minimal nourishment of calves results in high death rates in the young. Milk production is not high, with a typical cow producing only 2 pints of milk daily for humans, although an exceptional one can manage up to 8 pints. In addition, the lactation period is short. Over the last 10 years, attempts were made to select for animals which produce more milk and have better meat production. Famine and disease, as well as the conflict with traditional practices, have slowed this effort.

Ankole-Watusi have played a pivotal role in the lives of various African tribes – Tutsi, Ankole, Bahima, Bashi, Bakiga, and Kivu. The cattle provided food, currency, and tribal status.
