[QUOTE="andybob, post: 1121593, member: 2703"] You seem to be planning well for your breeding program, have you had any contact with or read Johan Zietsman's work on including African genetics for tropical and sub tropical beef production? We crossed Tuli over Jersey for our low maintenance milkers, being high in fat content the milk was popular locally for maas production. When we were AI-ing large numbers, we converted what had been a maize field into cenchrus cilliaris pasture where we could heat spot in the open, and by using an electic wire, move the cows/heifers after each heat check. I think overseas press has given a false representation of our respective labour laws, and never mention extras we supplied such as the schools and clinics we built as a community for our staff and local tribesmen, admittedly no longer the case in Zim these days, but it was a far different picture before the land seizures.
