[QUOTE="botsfarmer, post: 1121615, member: 22064"] I have read Johan's work. The Tuli has a lot to offer but there are none in our area that I know of. I have split a 125ha paddock into five 25ha portions. I want to chemically kill the bush so there will be lots of grass. That will be ideal for AI. I hope one day to try and plant 50ha of cenchrus using the manure from the feedlot as fertiliser. I would need to be lucky with the rain for it to work. [img]http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c250/botsfarmer/012Copy_zps3474bd67.jpg[/img] This is a photo of a nearby farm. he has cleared most of the bush and runs top quality simmentaler and Brahman cattle. [img]http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c250/botsfarmer/027Copy2_zps51d246a3.jpg[/img] If you look behind the cattle you can see how thick the bush is in comparison. You are correct about the impression that is out there regarding the labour. Most of my labour cannot read and can only write their name and a few cannot even do that. [/QUOTE]
