@ThapzDikgopo The tour van put this poor antelope at a disadvantage in the first place. The poor animal had no chance here. Its senses were raised & it knew something was up but couldn't place the coming danger as the engine was running in the background. Poor tour guide practice right there😭

After years of collecting and importing top tier Genetics into the Country, I think it can now safely be said that Botswana can be counted amongst the world's top genetics producers. This here Tholo Holdings bull on Auction tomorrow is just but one example of what BW is producing

These are the most eye-candy breed of cattle in the world. V3 Ranch in Colombia breeds both the red and black in their purest forms and they are a beauty..! 😍📷 I'm sure you all know the breed..! 📷 👍🏾

I was watching this auction yesterday & when the Lot 1 'cow' went for R280k ($17k) , I knew we were in for a treat of bids. This bull then shortly sold for R2.3M ($137K). This is every Stud Farmer's dream to reach these levels of trust & respect for their brand & product. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Note this Bull: He is about to course ripples in the world of Bull sales in the US. I anticipate he will fetch nothing less than $1,500,000.00 at the end of the auction in Feb 2023. If you live in these parts of the world you will know who he is & from where he is coming 🤔ANGUS

If I was not committed already, this is a breed I would be into for sure. The Sussex is an English breed known for it's docility & is one of Europe's oldest purebred cattle breeds. It is a solid, well built Bos-Taurus type cow which could make a perfect cross breeder for Africa.

Breeding Quality animals is a science. It's not about having the land or merely loving the breed. You've got to know what you're doing & why you're doing it. This is definitely not for everyone. In short, you got to have the heart, stomach & temperament for it. #Simmental

These (Frm 1 & 2) are the Akaushi cows. This breed of cattle is gaining popularity in the US for its quality of beef. For me this looks more like the Hanwoo (frm 3) which translates to Korean cow. Been following the Hanwoo for a few years as I believe its greatness is underrated.

In my neck of the woods, when the Goats start walking around with the tails down, know that something ain't right & act fast. Our Heartwater ticks will give you little to NO time once the animal goes down so it pay's to sometimes just follow them a bit or to just be observant.👊🏾

This frame 3 dorper has amazing hind quarters. I don't think I'd be wrong to say I am yet to see a Dorper that looks half this decent on the veld or on pasture as this specimen here. This breed looks super great in at shows, but maybe I should pay more attention for then on veld.

The bid on this guy stop just shy of the reserve & the owner has asked the almost successful bidder to up his bid for a private sale. I suspect he will agree to the asked P30k.

Time to get some wildlife in this fence now. A couple of impala, couple of kudu, couple of Zebra & pair of ostriches to start off with. The requirement was the size of land, ✔ & minimum 1.8m height parameter fence, ✔. 🇧🇼 🥰 👊🏽

Local Simmental breeders are doing very well in their individual corners. Some of the genetics out there are amazing & would make seasoned breeders feel very hot at their heels if I may put it that way. This space is about to become very interesting. 🔥🔥🔥

This one totally failed to start a single bid. Not takers, no interest from the floor. Seems BW-Farmers now know exactly what they want and they want better genetics at such high level auctions. 😭😭😭

Made myself one of these manual augers from a used cutting disk on Thursday. This has shed off some serious hours & elbow grease from the work I had to do this weekend. Holes are uniform, poles fit | cover very well. A bit of 🧏🏿‍♂️🧏🏿‍♂️ & 🔥

I think the South Americans who settle in Taxes are doing some amazing work with genetics and more especially around the Brahman breed. Very nice animal. Maybe the word nice is actually far from appropriate. Wow..! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😍

Somewhere in Botswana a masterpiece is being set up. The creation of a whole new farm to carry the dream to a whole new level, where science & farming will be entangled. As we grow, we hope we leave a trail of excellence. This corner pole was my ground breaking placement piece.

These are important measurements & measurements I need to aquatint myself with. Only one I'm sure about is the scrotal. I need to learn how to properly take the other measures. Kindly assist with info if you know exactly how & from which points. Too lazy to Youtube..! 😩👊🏾

This one shocked me. 😵 From left field this doe gave me a black kid. I don't have any block boy running around nor do my neighbors. 100% BLACK..! Note the twin is sitting there blaming herself. Throwback genetics is truly amazing. We still love her though, we're all equal here🤣

Meatmaster is not too represented this year. Only three (3) stalls from two breeders. The boys are very well built though. I like their depth and length mostly. Maybe next year I will send a couple too. Will see..!👊🏽

It's been a very depressing day, demanding week, hectic month & challenging year. 😪 Dropped off a three animals at the Lab for autopsy following the lose of 20% of my flock. I am so exhausted & emotionally drained I swear I can't wait for this 23 to come to a close. FARMING😭..!
