A procession of Vastrap’s main Boran cow herd led by Lizzie SPJ 07-106. 📢Keep the sound on for commentary by Quentin. The first bull walking with the ladies is Zidane HOT 15-13 (Zelma x Khan) and the second bull is Lancelot VST 16-82 (Layla VST 13-51 x Zambucca).
Some Appendix Boran Heifers from our upbreeding programme.
Some of our 2017 Boran heifers. They have been with the bulls for their first breeding season. First pregnancy testing will be done in April. #vastrapboran #boranheifers #boransouthafrica #borancattle
Thankful for the wonderful growing grass and the beautiful veld!
