[QUOTE="KNERSIE, post: 608856, member: 4353"] Mostly SA genetics, some Victor influence and some Renegade influence, but nothing with foreign genetics close in the pedigree. No, not at all. There is some tearing as she is in a pasture with alot of thistle that irritated her eye some. They tears are dry. Its just the dirtyness from our windy dusty conditions that remains there. There is no infection at all, the white looking spot is because the photo was taken in the almost dark and that was caused by the flash. I have enough savvy to enhance the brightness of the photo, but not enough to take the red eye out. :oops: My veld is very acidic, very little grass, mostly brush and a port jackson forest where they browse the leafs. So no it can't quite be compared to your western rangeland. JHambley can probably make a better comparison as he has been here and I have never been to your western range. Just what I saw in photos and on the TV. The pasture is kikuyu and the tall grass is the remnants of the winter's rye grass. I overseed the kikuyu with rye grass and oats in March/April for winter grazing. Kikuyu is a wonderfull warm season grass and is very hardy, the hotter it gets the better it grows. That's a loaded question :lol2: My fences need some work, but I am a cheapskate and with the vey time consuming fruit business the cattle often have to make do with what time is left for them. No fence will keep the local wildlife out and although we do have large cat predators (leopard and caracal) they aren't a problem with cattle. I have found leopard tracks not 200 yards from where I have taken the photos earlier this week. About an hours drive from the southernmost tip of Africa. [/QUOTE]
