I'm leery of sheep even though at some point I'll do dorper because karoo lamb. But based on what
@callmefence and you are saying there's a significant market for them, I just know that almost every time I talk with folks back home my dad has a story about another Dormer that found a way to commit suicide. Dorper are better though, I'll keep telling myself that.
I've heard of Thornbush Bonsmara, hoping there's something just a smidge closer - I'll some digging but I think angus or something related is where I'll end up in the short term.
Man alive, you were living in the thick of the Rhodesian/Zim insanity, would be willing to buy a lot of beer to hear those stories. Helluva shame how they messed it all up. Not really much better today either. That's a great story in summary never mind the detail hidden in there. The heat tolerance concept is an interesting one, doesn't need a complex breeding program to get to necessarily. Hell, brangus might be a similar outcome?
That's more of an emergency than anyone needs but a great opportunity. The English countryside is far more beautiful than the cities, or so Clarkson's Farm makes it seem
. I used to drive London to Exeter every two weeks past Stonehenge, blew my mind every time!
