Inyati 13 There were minimum wages and incentives enforced by law for all workers during the Rhodesian days, all my staff were paid well above the legal minimal wage, with brick housing running water and power from my generator. Much of the country was not occupied by the 250 000 Bantu in the...

Good to see my old stomping ground, we used to deploy from the Buffalo Range airfield during the bush war, the Baobabs are my favourite trees, we used to collect the pods and harvest the crème of tartar.

WalnutCrest is right, the addition of a % of adapted genetics will help in reducing costs by improving adapted traits such as climatic adaptation, parasite and disease resistance, and the heterosis never hurts in a crossbreeding program. This can also work the other way - put a small% of a slick...

Highland and Galloway are obvious choices for your environment, both being "Hefted" breeds in the Scottish highlands and Yorkshire moors, Hereford and Welsh black are from similar mountain conditions (West England/Wales) if you want miniature and dual purpose, Shetlands evolved in an Arctic...
