Most of these farmers here in the Free State are Lesotho and Xhosa speaking people whom majority of them work in the mines as general labourers. As a person who farms with them, it is difficult to farm with most of them because there are some who dont believe in western medicine like having vaccination and deworming programme or having vets and farmers like you to come and advice on how to improve the quality of the animals so they just be not interested or not come at all. All in all your assessment is spot on. The grazing is not that good but the animals are surviving and yes I agree with you that most of these farmers myself included are not farming for business purposes but its a status thing, the more livestock you have, the more respect to get

Good vid again. im a subscriber from Botswana. In Botswana we seem to have lost most of our Tswana cattle breed, we failed to save them. right now there's a government owned facility with Tswana bull semen, we can see how those bulls looked like, they look much like the Nguni you showed here, its unlike the tswana you see when you go out in the country to the farms, even with colour, the old Tswana in the pics and old videos looks like your Nguni, but now its a bit different. and there is just a handful of those bulls for which we saved the semen. If i wanted to breed pure Tswana i would have a very limited pool of genetics. to add to it, we have now as a country imported foreign cattle breeds to increase our national herd, so Tswana really is going to be a thing of the past, maybe the government will have pure Tswana in a single farm, but i dont think you can go to a farmer out here and find pure Tswana
