[QUOTE="botsfarmer, post: 1121513, member: 22064"] Hi Andybob, the veld here is awesome. Providing you provide phosphate and trace minerals, and protein in the winter and have enough grass the cattle do really well. I have some introduced Tuli via AI. I have got a Tuli cross Charolais bull which gained 247 kgs over 100 days on feed. My AI this year was hampered by the rain. I was planning to do around 250-300 but with the rain hardly any cows came to the kraal so only managed to do 35. Twenty of those I used Friesian as we milk a few cows for the workers. The idea is to have a cross dairy cow that gives a bit more milk. I should soon be buying feed from National Foods in Bulawayo for the feedlot. I am currently buying maize bran from Zambia. There are labour laws that we are governed by and we are inspected on an annual basis. [/QUOTE]
