Hello ❤❤❤❤

Nice video. I just bought 9 beefmaster calves and they are doing pretty good.

Informative talk, made it easy to understand, big ups

Oom baie danki vir die videos sal oom asb n vid maak oor hoe om te begin boer met beeste heel in detail asb oom

I can not believe they look so healthy without any green grass of feeds...i wish i can visit and stay with them about month to witness this greatness

Call her Mmantsho

Hi i just want to say your videos have helped me alot and I've learned alot out of it and my dream is to get Ngunis but you can't get them where i am

Watching from Namibia i love ur video but those are not 100 % nguni breeds an i dnt thnk u telling the truth by sain u dnt feed them specially the hearfers

I am deeply in love with Nguni, despite the fact that I am a township lad and have never been close to a cow. However, I have had those dejavu moments, and I have a feeling that my genes have been in close proximity to this at some point in the past. I would suggest that the Nguni Heifer be named Nkosazana.

Beefmaster / Droughtmaster = 25% hereford + 25% british shorthorn + 50% Brahman, according to literature

Great breed and video. I am farming in a commonage, in Bethulie. I started farmimg with multi mix bred animals. I convinced a few farmers that we should go for Bonsmara bulls, which we did eventuslly. Later on, we learned about the Afrigus cattle breed. We bought one bull, then two and now three. I found that the Afrigus bulls are able to maintain their conformation better than the Bonsmara bulls. If time allows you, please do visit the Afrigus farms as well, id like to hear your opinion on those animals as well.

whats the name of the farm

Like the look of these animals, I am also keen to breed a veldmaster type animal for a grass fed, grass finished animal.

I am using a tuli bull

Which breed do you prefer nguni/tuli

Hey how are you man. It’s Sidwell here. Can a farmer do Feedlot farming with the Tuli? I stead of grazing around the farm or veld. Can we feedlot them rather?? Thanks. Sid

Very interesting information on the amount of feed compared to the percentage actually used. I feel the problem would be how to determine the amount of feed compared to percentage converted. Because a cow eating 4 percent daily but digesting 40 would be in similar condition to the 2 percent daily but with 70 percent digesting. I think the best way to infer who is effective at feed conversion ,would be in time of low feed. So basically keep the animals that keep condition in naturally occurring events such as drought and cull those who don’t, Because effectively you’re controlling one of the variables in the equation, feed intake. So ,this a case we’re old time farmer knowledge is backed by science.

Her name is Nkosazana

How is Basjan doing ?

There is a breeder called Nandi, but the names still sound very good for Bella's daughter. Or you could call it Malaika

❤❤❤

What mineral salt block would you recommend?....!!

Hello sir I’m not sure you can help me if yes please help me I look for Senepol bull, I’m from Theunissen

Great video. Just one more factor to take into consideration is the interest that you could have earned on the capital value of your breeding herd.

call her Naledi which directly translates to english as Star

How does one get in touch with you? I have so many questions.

This is new information to me..

Great Content!!! Thanks for more references shared - the name for your heifer "Phinifa" (Apron in English) & pronounced as - pinˈifär - her colours are very uniform all around and she is very feminine...

Let’s call her Nandipha!!!!🎉🎉 because she’s elegant like that

Let’s call the black heifer “Ndoni” (The berry of waters” we usually call dark skinned beautiful African women by that name. Another very informative video. Honestly speaking i thought all animals digest over 60% of what they consume. Very interesting topic.

Love your videos, I'm a Drakensberger guy for all the reasons you farm with Nguni's. You should really check the breed out 💪🏻 to sustainability.

Thank you for showing the value of the Indigenous breeds and how beneficial they are ,most people don't realise the gold they have until some one comes and sees the value of what u have....go Nguni.

Awesome herd. Some advocate for uniformity in terms breed selection. In your case, what's the idea behind farming with different breeds, Simbra, Nguni, Tuli, and the recent member of the herd Senepol x Tuli calf?

Appreciate your content man. After watching your videos, I always sit down and think hard about the information you provided and how I should go about things. Also I suggest you give the heifer the name Thato .. meaning love ( considering you live in the FreeState and the indigenous people there are Sotho)

I Suggest you name her NANDI which means SWEET or Pleasant a name that conveys charm….. great idea on sharing our content a you plug it in wow good initiative where can we reach you directly?…… I think the behaviour of cows staying behind with a new mother an calve was introduced to the herd by Bella because you never experienced the same with your first calve…I actually noticed a lot of good changes in your herd behaviour since Bella arrived and according to me it can only be her because she seem to be leader and very dominant. I think she splits the animals to bring or introduce the instincts of theft management even attack to all the animals at a go and also grazing management ……just my thoughts 😂😂😂😂😂😂but in Bella you got a great cow which is very educating to other animals

I say it again your attitude in sharing information with us is confirming of the character you are, before I like your content which is great I like you as a person wow you are a great human being, MAY YOU BE BLESSED WITH ALL THAT YOUR HEART DESIRES

Yathitha (pronounced Ya-tea-tah) which is a Xhosa name that translates to Moonlight/Luna.

I recall a piece of advice that was given to me many years ago before i embarked on my farming career that u may find useful. If you want to farm with ngunis then go out and get ngunis and if you want to farm with herefords go out and get herefords but dont spend your life trying to turn herefords into ngunis. The message was complicated cross breeding programs take many years to complete without producing a uniform standard and result in a bit of this and a bit of that. Often by the time you start getting to what you envisaged you are ready to retire!!

Your cattle looks amazing 🎉

your herd is looking amazing.

Can you please do another Bonsmara video or Simmental breed🙏🏼

Beautiful content I really appreciate what you spoke about in this video , am also learning about livestock farming wanted to focus more on feedlot, was learning about all the nutrition needed to fatten the cow. The topic that you spoke about of feed digestion and how it can affect the body condition of a cattle. Got me thinking a lot because I was asking myself about what happens when you feed a cow and it doesn’t reach the body condition needed by the market what could have went wrong in the cattle.

👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

You can call the black heifer Ndoni which means a black water berry, used to describe a particularly and infinitely beautiful dark skinned beauty, an evergreen tree to describe the hardiness and resilient body condition and an ode to the forever flowing stream of the perennial stream. That’s a good name for her I think 😂😂😂

Great content as always. It is something similar i learnt from Kit Pharo "The importance of quitting the herd and thinking differently". Very informative. Thanks for sharing, highly appreciated.

great content. A lot of guys need to tap into understanding the importance of EBV's and how they affect your herd. especially when it comes to the bull you use. medium framed animals are a win. I suggest the name Buhle.

Been following for a short time but i must say, i am learning alot and enjoying it, and thats oxymoronic for me😅

Om in die aand te sit en jou videos kyk is altyd iets waarna ek uitsien!

Thank you for your videos they add value to our struggles and you give solutions to lot of doubts
