We celebrated the start of the festive season with a very happy family day at Vastrap. Lots of food, fun for the kids and most especially dancing! The wonderful spirit of the day was more accurately captured on video so please check out our stories for a look at the fun (including traditional Basotho dance and Quentin pulling out some of his best moves! )
ADAPTABILITY. On a terribly dry and windy day at Vastrap with most of our cattle grazing on the “long farm” (better known as the road), our Boran are finding greenery in the wild peach trees. Browsing ability is just one of the wonderful attributes of this adaptable and hardy breed. . #vastrapboran #borancattle #indigenouscattle #cattlefarming #boransouthafrica
Simba, our Anatolian sheep dog chilling with some Boran cattle.
We would like to thank Louis and Rohan Neethling from Namibia for their support at the 7th Annual Vastrap Auction. Congratulations with the purchase of VST 16-94 (Savanna VST 12-58 x Zambucca VST 11-01) for the equal highest price paid for a bull of R200’000. This is a bull. He had leaves no question about his manliness with a head, eyebanks, a deep muscular body and leg structure that have no comparison. Like true stockman they realized that it takes an amazing dam to breed a champion bull and bought his mother Savanna VST 12-58 (Savanna TLM 00-03 x Rustin MHB 06-30) too for R160’000. Thank you so much!! . #vastrapauction #boranbull #borancow
