6 van die from the SYDNEY HUNT As 2018 draws to a close, we proudly look back to all the success stories during this year, like the successful presentation of the African Brahman Congress by the SA Brahman Society. According to the feedback received, Brahman was yet again the leader The Commercial breeder wants Fertility, Milk and good Temperament. Feedlots want Feed conversion, Growth and Dressing percentage. The Housewife wants quality beef at an affordable price for her family. Registered Brahman bulls destined for the Commercial sector are popular now and currently earning high prices. Pure Brahman females, stud or commercial, is also in high demand, mostly due to the reconstruction of the Commercial sector after the recent years of drought. Met die einde 2018 in sig, kyk ons graag terug met trots na al die sukses stories wat behaal is die afgelope jaar, soos die ABC Brahman Kongres wat suksesvol aangebied was deur die Brahman Beestelersgenootskap van SA. Die terugvoer wat ontvang is, was weereens dat die Brahmane voor loop. The Commercial breeder wants Fertility, Milk and good Temperament. Feedlots want Feed conversion, Growth and Dressing percentage. The Housewife wants quality beef at an affordable price for her family. Geregistreerde Brahman bulle vir die Kommersiële bedryf is gewild en behaal tans goeie pryse. Suiwer Brahman vroulike diere, stoet of kommersieel, is hoog in aanvraag, grootliks agv die heropbou van die Kommersiële sektor na die afgelope paar jaar se droogtetoestande. Die prys van speenkalwers bly hoog in alle distrikte in Suid Afrika en dien as n verdere stimulus vir die aanvraag na ons produk: Brahman, The Complete Breed. The Brahman Society is already committed to the Beef Genomics program (BGP). With the help of the BGP we The price of weaner calves remains high in all districts of South Africa and serve as an additional stimulus to the demand on our product: Brahman, The Complete Breed. The Brahman Society is already committed to the Beef Genomics program (BGP). With the help of the BGP we identified traits that need to be improved. Traits such as Fertility and Carcass quality are high on the agenda for improving. Unfortunately, these traits are not easy to measure, therefore new technologies such as genotyping and single-step analysis are necessary to get results more quickly. In a paper that was written by the well-known Dr Pierre van Rooyen (Studbook), the following relevant questions were asked regarding the role of a Breed Society. - What is the value of pure, registered bulls? - A Breed can be defined as a population of animals producing progeny with a high degree of genetic stability, as is evident from the visible uniformity in breed standards and performance. According to the Animal Improvement Act a uniform population of animals can be classified as a breed only when the Registrar of Animal Improvement declared it as a Breed and it is published in the Government 6 BRAHMAN Desember 2018 December

7 identified traits that need to be improved. Traits such as Fertility and Carcass quality are high on the agenda for improving. Unfortunately, these traits are not easy to measure, therefore new technologies such as genotyping and single-step analysis are necessary to get results more quickly. In a paper that was written by the wellknown Dr Pierre van Rooyen (Studbook), the following relevant questions were asked regarding the role of a Breed Society. - Wat is die waarde van geregistreerde, rasegte bulle? - n Ras word gedefinieer as n populasie van diere wat nageslag voortbring wat oor n hoë graad van genetiese stabiliteit beskik, soos wat blyk uit die identifiseerbare eenvormigheid in rasstandaarde en rasprestasie. Volgens die Veeverbeteringswet word n groep eenvormige diere as n ras erken eers nadat dit deur die Registrateur van Veeverbetering as n ras verklaar is en in die Staatskoerant afgekondig is. Die unieke eienskappe (visueel en in produksiewaarde) wat vleisbeesrasse van mekaar onderskei is die grootste enkele rede, bepalende faktor wanneer n veeboer besluit waarom hy met n bepaalde ras wil boer. Gestruktureerde evaluering van eienkappe en beplande seleksie doelwitte binne n bepaalde teelstruktuur/ beleid wat doelgerig toegepas word, is die enigste manier hoe n ras spesifieke eienskappe kan behou en kan uitbou. Diè proses verseker die voortbestaan van n beesras. n Ras kan alleenlik suksesvol wees binne n gestruktueerde telersorganisasie met minimum standaarde en reëls wat konsekwent toegepas word. Die aantekening van data t.o.v. herkoms, afkoms en produksiewaardes (fenotipiese data), onderskryf die Ras se minimum standaarde, wat so n Ras se voortbestaan regverdig. Die Veeverbeteringswet gee duidelike voorskrifte hoe n self registrerende owerheid (telersgenootskap) moet funksioneer. n Telersgenootskap moet voorsiening maak vir: - n Grondwet wat die bestuur van die genootskap bepaal. - n Registrasie program wat eienaarskap-, geboorte-, Gazette. The unique traits (visual and in production value) which distinguish breeds is the single most important reason/ determining factor when a cattle producer decides on a specific breed to use. Structured evaluation of traits and planned selection goals within a specific breeding structure/ policy applied purposefully is the only way to retain and expand breed specific traits. This process will ensure the survival of a breed. A Breed can only be successful within a structured breeders organisation with minimum standards and rules applied consistently. The recording of information with regards to origin, ancestry and production values (phenotypical data) endorses the Breed s minimum standards, thus justifying the Breed s survival. The Animal Improvement Act provides clear guidelines how a self-registering authority (breeders society) should operate. A breeders society should provide for: - A Constitution determining the management of the society. - A registration program lending credibility to ownership-, birth-, parentage- and pedigree information (verification of production/performance information and parentage verification).

10 ouerskap- en stamboom inligting geloofwaardig maak (verifiëring van produksie/prestasie inligting en ouerskap bevestiging). - n Raad wat demokraties verkies is deur opbetaalde lede verleen geloofwaardigheid aan die organisasie. - n Diensverskaffer (Breedplan) om katalogus inligting te verifieer, sodat geloofwaardigheid aan inligting gegee kan word, sodat dit suksesvol deur n potensiële koper gebruik kan word. - Ekonomies belangrike inligting waarvolgens n bepaalde besluit deur die kommersiële koper geneem kan word, is slegs beskikbaar wanneer n dier amptelik deur die telersgenootskap geregistreer is. - n Genootskap wat sy eindproduk aan die kommersiële- sowel as die stoetmark waarborg as korrek, tree op binne die standaarde van die Ras waarmee hy teel. - n Stoetteler tree dus binne die grondwet van die betrokke Genootskap op. Hierdie stellings is nog net so relevant as n dekade gelede. U as stoetteler word steeds gesien as die verskaffer van meerderwaardige teeldiere, manlik sowel as vroulik. Die waarde wat u aan u produk koppel deur doelgerigte verskaffing van korrekte inligting en prestasie data bepaal die werklike ekonomiese waarde van u eindproduk. Ek wens u almal n aangename vakansie seisoen toe, gevul met vrede en voorspoed en genoegsame somerreën in A Council elected democratically by financial members provides credibility to the organisation. - A service provider (Breedplan) to verify catalogue information, providing credibility to the information, in order to be used with success by a potential buyer. - Economic important information, according to which important decisions can be made by commercial buyers, which is available only if an animal is registered by the society. - A society which guarantees it s end-product as correct to the commercial- as well as the stud market, and act within the standards of it s Breed. - A stud breeder operating within the constitution of the Society. These statements are just as relevant as they were a decade ago. You, as a stud breeder, are still regarded as the supplier of superior breeding animals, male as well as female. The value you link to your product by dedicated provision of correct information and performance information, determines the real economic value of your end-product. I wish you all a happy holiday season filled with peace and prosperity and enough summer rain in BRAHMAN Desember 2018 December

12 Kroon Vee Vleis en vrugbaarheid is nommer een Uitstekende resultate word behaal deur Jan en Irma van Zyl asook hul twee seuns, Gideon en Jan Junior en hul gades wat suksesvol saamboer op die plaas Buckshee in die Vryburg distrik. WAYNE SOUTHWOOD het gaan ondersoek instel wat hul suksesresep is. Kroon Vee Brahman Stoet is een van die grootste stoetkuddes in die land wat uit wit en rooi Brahmane bestaan, n kommersiële Brahmankudde asook n os boerdery. Die kudde word bestuur soos n besigheid, reproduksie en vleisproduksie is vir hulle ononderhandelbaar. Elke koei moet elke jaar n kalf speen. Ek moet winsgewend vleis kan produseer. Die genetiese waarde is n toevoeging, maar dit moet in praktyk ekonomies volhoubaar en verbeter word. Kroon Vee het al n hele paar jaar die voorreg gehad om die gesogte toekenning te ontvang vir die vrugbaarste kudde in die land. Kroon Vee hou jaarliks hul produksie veiling op die eerste Woensdag van November. Hierdie jaar is dit hul 22 ste opeenvolgende veiling op 7 November Kopers kom van regoor Suid-Afrika, Namibië, Botswana en Zimbabwe om waarde vir hul geld te kry. Baie kommersiële telers kom jaarliks terug, omdat hulle weet wat die resultate van die genetika is wat hulle oor jare aankoop. Kroon Vee se uitgangspunt is dat hul genetika by hulle kliënte waarde moet toevoeg Jan senior se leuse - If you can dream it you can do it is in groot letters geskryf in hulle kantoor. Dit is belangrik dat ons, ons kudde se prestasie in terme van vrugbaargeid, groei, melkproduksie en winsgewendheid in syfers het sodat n plan vir die toekoms opgestel kan word met spesifieke doelwitte en teikendatums daaraan gekoppel. n Plan word vir een jaar, vyf jaar en tien jaar opgestel soos byvoorbeeld, dat die kudde se TKP aan die einde van 2019 onder 395 dae moet wees. Jan junior en Gideon streef daarna dat die doelwitte behaal word. 12 BRAHMAN Desember 2018 December

13 Verstaan jou mark Jan senior glo dat die stoetvee bedryf nader aan die kommersiële telers moet beweeg en vroegtydig marktendense en vraag veranderings moet waarneem sodat aanpassings betyds gemaak kan word. Tans styg die vraag na gesonde en antibiotika vrye veldvleis omdat die huisvrou meer gesondheidsbewus raak. Hierdie tendens pas die Brahman ras uitstekend omdat laat tande wisseling by die ras plaasvind. Vleisgradering is op tande geskoei en sekere tipes Brahmane hul uitstekend ook leen aan veldafronding. Jan se os en speenkalf boerdery help hom baie om die ekonomiese resultaat van sy genetika te meet en veranderings betyds aan te bring. Ons moet markgerig teel. Om die kudde te evalueer is die kampioenbul op die plaas die bul wat die hoogste prys op die veiling gaan. Na elke veiling word n ontleding gedoen van die top bulle, om te bepaal wat die bulle in gemeen het om sodoende die mark beter te verstaan. Hulle kry ook terugvoering van die voerkrale en slagpale wat inligting verskaf oor groei, uitslagpersentasie en vleis sagtheid. Hierdie inligting word ontleed volgens bloedlyne. Dan kan daar makliker bepaal word wat die beste genetika vir die verbruikersmark is. Hoe meer inligting ek kan terugwin oor my eie kudde, hoe makliker word die teelbesluite geneem. Bly voor met tegnologie Jan het dat die Namibiese telers redelik ver voor is met die meet van genetiese eienskappe en teelwaardes. Hier het hy geleer dat die korrelasie tussen ribvet en vrugbaarheid baie belangrik is. n Koei wat maer is vat nie bul nie. Indien genetiese vordering op ribvet gemaak kan word, word vrugbaarheid verhoog. Die top vrugbaarste kuddes in Namibië is ook die kuddes wat die hoogste ribvet teelwaardes het. Jan het begin om ultrasoniese skanderings te doen op die oogspier en ribvet om diere te identifiseer wat die eienskappe het sodat hy die kudde in die regte rigting kan stuur. Drie bulle is in Namibië aangekoop. Een van die bulle het die heel beste ribvetteelwaarde en kom uit die vrugbaarste kudde in Namibië. Indien die ribvetmeting hoog is, verhoog vrugbaarheid en uitslagpersentasie onmiddellik. Kuddebestuur By Kroon Vee strek die kalfseisoen regdeur die hele jaar. Daar is vierses- en agtkampstelsels in werking met net een bul per trop. Elke maand word daar nuwe koeie by elke bul geplaas sodat die bul die hele jaar kan werk. Op hierdie manier kan n bul baie meer koeie dek gedurende n jaar teenoor n drie-maande teelseisoen. Die koeie kalf naby die huis en die kalwers word geweeg op die dag van geboorte. Dan word die kalf gepunt op bouvorm, lewenskragtigheid en ander eienskappe. Die paringsbesluite van die vorige jaar word geëvalueer want elke kalf is die resultaat van n paringsbesluit. Drie weke na geboorte word die kalf asook die koei gepunt, en word daar besluit na watter bul die koei moet gaan. As die vorige jaar se teelbesluit goed was, gaan sy dalk terug na dieselfde bul, of n ander paringsbesluit word geneem. In die proses word daar ook gekyk na die groep kalwers van een bul en so word elke bul se nageslag geëvalueer. Die bulle wat die beste groepe het, gaan na die agt-kampstelsel toe met 70 tot 80 koeie vir die jaar. 95 Kalwers van een bul is al in n jaar gekry. Op speenouderdom word die hele groep weer deeglik van kop tot tone geëvalueer. Net die topkalwers word gehou vir die stoet. Al die bulkalwers word grootgemaak om sodoende die prestasiesyfers baie meer akkuraat te kry. Volgens Jan is die laat wisseling van tande by Brahmane n groot voordeel. Hulle kry A-, AB- en B-gradering op drie jarige ouderdom. Teelbeleid Die plaas se teelbeleid is die balans tussen kuns en wetenskap. Kuns is die vermoë BRAHMAN Desember 2018 December 13

16 om te sien watter bulle en koeie pas bymekaar en vul mekaar aan. Die wetenskap is om die teelwaardes so te gebruik dat die kudde voordeel daaruit trek. Jan is gedurig op soek na die beste genetika wat hy kan kry en is baie streng met die seleksie van n bul wat hy koop. Hy sê ek koop nie n bul as ek nie sy ma gesien het nie. Ek wil weet hoe lyk haar uier, spene, vrugbaarheidsrekord, die kalwers wat sy geproduseer het en wat van hulle geword het. Hy wil nie n bul hê wat uit n koei geteel is met n swak retensie nie. Temperament is vir hulle baie belangrik. Daar word streng geselekteer daarvoor. Hoe om n bul te selekteer Voordat n bul aangekoop word, moet jy eers die sterken swak punte identifiseer in jou eie kudde. Daarna moet bepaal word wat die nuwe bul na jou kudde toe moet bring en dan kan die regte bul opgespoor word. Jan senior se leuse - If you can dream it you can do it Jan probeer sy kliënte soveel inligting as moontlik gee sodat hulle die regte keuse kan maak met die koop van bulle. n Bul by Kroon Vee is nie n koste-sentrum nie, dis n belegging, want vir die volgende twintig tot dertig jaar bly daardie genetika in die kudde. Ons is gedurig op soek na die beste genetika wat ons kan kry. Meestal vind hulle dit in hul eie kudde, soos weer die jaar bewys. Kroon Vee Jackhammer JVZ is aangewys as die Brahmanras se teelbul van die jaar vir Hulle is baie trots veral omdat vele Jackhammer seuns in hulle eie en ander stoetkuddes gebruik word. Hiedie prestasies kan net bereik word met 46 jaar se doelgerigte teling en streng seleksie. n Blink toekoms wag vir die Brahmanbedryf en daarom is Kroon Vee Brahmane besig om hul kudde te vergroot, want die nuwe marktendense bevoordeel die ras en die telers van die Brahmanras. 16 BRAHMAN Desember 2018 December

18 - WAYNE SOUTHWOOD FUTURE for SA Brahman 18 BRAHMAN Desember 2018 December

19 Sydney Hunt, President of the SA Brahman Society, is guiding the Brahmans into the challenging future of global warming and climate change. The Brahman Society is already committed to the Beef Genomics Program (BGP). Sydney said that they are going to take what they have and improve it. With the help of the BGP they have identified traits that need improving. With global warming becoming a reality he wants the breed to be able to handle any changes nature throws at them. The Brahman is well known for hardiness, tick resistance, more efficient utilization of water, can get by with less food, can handle higher temperatures. He said that the commercial guy wants fertility, milk and good temperament; the feedlot wants feed conversion, growth and dressing percentage (the percentage of meat after de-boning), and the housewife wants quality meat. When they achieve all of the above they will be in an extremely advantageous position in the marketplace. BGP is an effective tool for breeders to make very fast genetic progress. He said that simply by sending some hair to the lab he can cut out the age old problem of the generation gap and know instantly whether or not a potential herd sire has the traits he is looking for. In the past it took eight year to know if the bull was any good. This is going to take the breed forward in leaps and bounds. Sydney said that the commercial guy is still going to buy a bull by Eye Balling it, but the responsibility is on the breeders to supply them with superior genetics. The HBS Stud was started by the Hunts (Reg was one of the founding members of SA Brahman Society) in The original genetics came from the Norris herd in Florida (USA), and from Hudgins in Texas, but they ended up concentrating on the Sugarland genetics in Florida. They found them to be big framed, heavy boned cattle, which is what they were looking for. They imported about 200 heifers including some of the legends from Sugarland, bulls like Loxacrata 115, Loxacrata 63, Lockmor Suville 74, Lockmor Suville 84 and Poncrata 100. Once they had the basic genetics they closed the herd and started line breeding. Sydney said that the Brahman is one of the best cross breeding breeds you can get, and the purer (line-bred) you breed them the more hybrid vigour you are selling to your buyers. His clients are more than happy with the increased hybrid vigour. There are two things you have to watch when line breeding, he said and that is growth and fertility, so he puts pressure on those traits. The ICP of the herd is 60 days under breed average. When a Hunt bull arrives on a client s farm there is an explosion of growth because he has bred them so pure. Wound up genetics he calls it. Most of his clients are repeat buyers and the new ones are often word of mouth from the existing buyers. Sydney farms with 220 Grey Brahman cows on the farm Sydney s Hope (3400 ha) in the Warrenton district. The area has been hit by severe drought for a few years and he had to slaughter 87 stud cows. The cows are a bit bigger than medium frame and have an average weight of 570 kg. The bull calves weigh 218kg at weaning. Current generations on Sydneys Hope Sydney and Geoff Hunt BRAHMAN Desember 2018 December 19

20 Due to the unreliable weather conditions Sydney has a six month breeding season. He said that Brahmans won t come on heat unless the conditions are right. It needs to be warm and they should have had some rain. Their rainy season is usually in February and March. When Reg was still running the herd, the bulls were with the cows all year round. Sydney said that the problem with that system is if you get cows calving in the middle of winter and the temperature is -5 o C, a lot of the calves die. To get the herd into a reasonable calving season he started by removing the bulls first for 3 months and then the following year for 4 months. Every year he added a month until he got to where he is now (6 months in and 6 months out). The bulls are put with the cows in December and removed in May. First calves are born in September and continue to March. He weans the first batch in the first week of June and the second in September. The calves born in December will only be five months old and the oldest calves will be eight months. The farm is Sweat veld with Vaal Bos which is very useful, highly nutritious and is grazed in the winter months and in drought. The farm is divided into 100 ha camps and a four-camp rotation is used. The government recommendation for carrying capacity is 1 LSU per 7 hectares, the average farmer uses 1:10 but they use 1:14. In the good years they save their grazing and build up their fodder bank for the dry years. The average rainfall is 340 mm. Marketing: Sydney noticed a trend in the commercial bull market and decided to concentrate on the Emerging Farmers because their numbers are growing, where-as the traditional stud cattle numbers are dwindling. In the past he has exported to Australia, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and a few to Zimbabwe. About 10% of his bulls are sold into the stud market. Sydney says that a normal auction is too impersonal and prefers to sell off the farm and most of the leads are by word of mouth. He says they call his farm the Wimpy of Warrenton because if you are interested in buying you get treated like a king. Breakfast, lunch and supper if necessary. He builds his business on personal relationships with his clients. Exciting future plans: Johan Roodt from Ventersdorp has been breeding from HBS genetics for 40 years (Suville cows). They decided to swop genetics from these two absolutely pure Sugarland herds by exchanging bulls. HBS is the top Genomics bull in South Africa is the result of this partnership. Their plan is to flush Johan s Suville cows with HBS and produce the next generation of Sugarland bulls. They are going to flush with all the original Sugarland semen that is left in the flask in order to increase the numbers of what they already have. There are already a number of Loxcrata 115 calves on the ground. These efforts will benefit the whole industry, not just these two herds. Dr. Niel van Zyl of Invitro (Parys) is in charge of the flushing. He gave them a program to follow, and the cows must be on the station on a specific day, the transplanting is done at home by Dr. Terence Ions. Sydney has an international quarantine station on the farm. They are waiting for the licence approval from State. Once they have the licence it will be open for all Brahman breeders to use. Sydney said that the breeders are happy with this as it will be a solution for many breeders to quarantine their cattle and be assured that they will be cared for properly without risk of disease or sickness. They are looking to export to countries in Africa, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines. History Sydney s great grandparents immigrated to South Africa in 1866 but decided this was not their cup of tea and moved to New Zealand. His grandfather Sydney was 12 at the time and he decided to remain. He saved all his money and started breeding horses in Cradock. Just as the business was getting going the animals were all destroyed by African Horse Sickness. He went bankrupt and moved to Colesburg where he tried again and was wiped out for a second time. He ended up in Warrenton where he became a respected member of the community. He was a real go-getter. He acquired a farm which he named Sydney s Hope. He milked 300 cows by hand, started a cheese factory, started a bone meal factory (which is the oldest in the world), started Vleissentraal, Noord Kaap Livestock, initiated the Vaalharts irrigation scheme for the returning war veterans, was a founder member of Stud Book and he started Farming Associations. Reg took over the operations in Sydney is a great ambassador for the breed and is very positive about the future of Brahmans in Africa. 20 BRAHMAN Desember 2018 December

23 DeWaal Nigrini Inleiding Daar is al baie gepraat oor wat die rol van n Klub is. Benewens die feit dat Klubs n tuiste vir nuwe telers is bied dit n waardevolle geleentheid vir telers om van mekaar te leer en vriendskappe te vorm. Daar vind jy onder andere meer uit oor die Brahman stelsel, wat elke lid doen, wat te koop aangebied word, watter bulle teel en waar om strooitjies in die hande te kry. Deur die interaksie tussen lede word langtermynvriendskappe gesmee. Dit is n bonus wanneer Klublede boonop n skou of veiling aanbied of saam toer of bemarkingsprojekte aanpak. Klubs bied ook n bron van idees wat na die Raad deurvloei. Beide Klubs se lede is bevoorreg om al die elemente van n gesonde Klub te ervaar. Vrystaat Brahman Klub Die volgende persone het die afgelope jaar op die bestuur gedien: Attie Koen voorsitter Lukas Kleynhans - onder-voorsitter Hannetjie Human - sekretaresse Glaudine-Mari Strauss - hulp sekretaresse Dieter Reinecke en Roelf Pretorius - addisionele lede Die Klub het hul afsluitingsfunksie te Lindley op 25 November 2017 gehou. Die funksie is deur n groep van 25 bygewoon. Na afloop van n heerlike ontbyt en die vergadering is Pieter Meyer van Lovedale boerdery in Lindley besoek. Daar is pragtige Brahmane gesien en teelwaardes bespreek. Die kudde beskik eweneens oor poena gene. Darelize het die klublede verras met n wegneem kospakkie. Die Klub het besoek afgelê aan Dieter Reinecke waar n groot trop funksionele diere, waarop hy kan trots wees, gesien is. Oë het gerol vir die pragtige R10 bul op sy plaas en Izaan het n heerlike ete bedien. Dr Henk Basson (veearts) het baie waardevolle en insiggewende inligting verskaf in verband met geslagsiektes. Hy het veral gewaarsku teen Besmetlike Misgeboorte (BM) wat as die silent killer bekend staan. Die Klub het ook besoek afgelê by Willie, Terrie en Erik Steyn van Steyns Brahmane waar mooi funksionele koeie, met pragtige temperament en goeie uiers en spene gesien is. Daarbenewens het die Klub op Saterdag 17 Maart 2018 te Wolmaransstad n baie aangename besoek afgelê aan HJW Brahmane van Hennie en Marelize Jacobs. Brahmane van hoogstaande kwaliteit is besigtig en Marelize het reggestaan met n heerlike ontbyt en middagete. Lede van die Klub het gedurende die jaar baie suksesvolle produksieveilings aangebied. Die lede sluit in Mnre Linde du Plessis van Brandwater Brahmane, Burnie Staal van Bos Blanco Brahmane, Jan v Zyl van Kroonvee Brahmane en Pieter Meyer van Lovedale Brahmane. Bos Blanco het ook uitstekende pryse behaal tydens die verkoping van hul rooi kudde. Klublede het voorts diere op ander veilings soos byvoorbeeld die Sale of the Roses aangebied en ondersteun die Nasionale Veiling, verskeie skoue en Nasionale Kampioenskappe. Brahmane van hoogstaande gehalte is op al hierdie veilings aangebied en op skoue vertoon. Linde du Plessis se Interras Kampioen by die Royal skou verdien spesiale vermelding. Ons kan trots wees op al die Vrystaat-Klublede vir hul bydrae en hul skou-prestasies. Vaalrivier Brahman Klub Die volgende persone het die afgelope jaar op die bestuur gedien: Andries Marx - voorsitter Jamie Bloem - onder-voorsitter Eugene Marais - tesourier Esta Hattingh - sekretaresse Die Klub se afsluitingsfunksie was gehou by DKN Brahmane van DeWaal en Erina Nigrini. Die sakelys is hanteer, die klub se ere-lid, oom John Swanepoel (vir wie almal respekteer) het met entoesiasme oor die Brahman Ras gepraat en almal het lekker gekuier. Die Klub het ongeveer elke tweede maand vergader. Tydens die vergaderings is verskeie Brahman aangeleenthede bespreek en goeie voorstelle is gemaak. Die vergaderings het meestal by Andries Marx plaasgevind. By elke geleentheid is die lede met mooi rooi Brahmane getrakteer en die gasvryheid van Andries en Martie, wat sonder uitsondering die lekkerste beesstert- en afval potjiekos voorgesit het, word nie BRAHMAN Desember 2018 December 23

24 maklik geklop nie. Verskeie van die Klublede se tyd en energie is gewy aan die ABC, Nasionale Kampioenskappe en Nasionale Veiling. Verskeie vergaderings is gehou in die verband en daar is deurlopend met mekaar per WhatsApp en telefonies gekommunikeer. Daar is ook voortdurend met lede gekommunikeer deur die Genootskap, asook in verband met die bemarking van vermelde gebeure met Lumico en BKB. Die ABC-Komitee was bevoorreg om waardevolle raad en advies te ontvang van n voormalige President van die Genootskap, Mnr Wessel Hattingh. Almal sal onthou dat Mnr Wessel Hattingh aan die hoof gestaan het van die reël van die vorige Wêreldkongres. Serfbred (Jan Serfontein en Carla de Kock), sowel as HJW Brahmane van Hennie en Marelize Jacobs het n uitstekende veiling aangebied. Uitstekende gehalte diere is aangebied en beide kopers en verkopers het waarde ontvang. Veilingspryse weerspieël gehalte en n herlewing in die vraag na Brahmane. Daarbenewens het die Vaalrivier-Klub verskeie skoue ondersteun en beeste op ander veilings aangebied. Andries Marx van Bonvu Brahmane se skouprestasies verdien spesiale vermelding. So ook Jan Serfontein wat die rekordprys vir n vroulike dier behaal het en vir sy koei se uitsonderlike prestasie - sy het n tweede plek in die Miss World kompetisie behaal. Ons is trots op al ons Vaalrivier-Klublede se bydrae wat verskeie pryse by verskeie skoue ontvang en het groot waardering vir hul bydrae. Stephan Coetzee In die Noordwes streek het dit baie goed gegaan, daar was n groot aanvraag na ons ras. Die veilings wat aangebied is, het groot aanbiedings gehad en min diere het nie verkoop nie. Loriza Brahmane aanbieding op 31 Mei het 440 diere aangebied. HJW Brahmane aanbieding op 21 April het 70 diere aangebied. Serfbred Brahmane aanbieding op 19 April het 108 diere aangebied. Extreme Brahmane aanbieding op 24 Februarie het 110 diere aangebied. Steyns Brahmane aanbieding op 3 Maart het 81 diere aangebied. Wermanso Brahmane totale uitverkoping op 1 Junie en het hoë pryse behaal. Die Noordwes klub veiling is bulle teen n hoë gemiddeld verkoop met 100% verkope. Dit is slegs van die veilings in die streek wat uitgelig is. Die Noordwes streek het ook n Opleidingskursus aangebied by Hennie en Marelize Jacobs op 12 Mei, 25 lede het die kursus bygewoon, dit was n groot sukses en lede het dit leersaam gevind. Dankie aan HJW Brahmane. Geluk aan Jan Serfontein wat n derde plek behaal het by die Brahman Wêreld kampioenskap, dit word beskou as n groot mylpaal. Daar is ook n toer gereël na Limpopo vanaf 8 tot 10 Maart 2018, dit was n gekuier met groot hoogtepunte. Telers wat besoek is, is Willie Becker, Willem Barnard, Llewellyn Labuschagne, Rohan Beukes en Andrew Smith. Hiermee wil ek al die telers sterkte toewens vir 2019 wat voorlê. 24 BRAHMAN Desember 2018 December

25 Miles Dicke A comprehensive culmination of reports from Miles Dicke and interested parties: The year has seen Brahman stepping up to take their place in the national and international arena with many members from the Eastern Cape, Northern Cape and Western Cape, showcasing animals that we as a Society can all be proud of. The new vigour and interest that we are experiencing in our breed is the culmination of years of hard work and the vision and dreams of people who were the rock foundation of this industry. The Society s vision in breed improvement through the B-Branding initiative and the new motto the complete breed, has further defined us as Brahman breeders, with a lot to offer. Met my eie beoordeling van die Vryburg skou het ek weereens besef hoe groot ons Kaapse Provinsie eintlik is. The Dicke Brahman 12 th Emerging Farmers Day was a great success with 300 plus commercial and developing farmers who had the opportunity to network with industry leaders and learn from them. The day was hosted by Dicke Brahman Eastern Cape, on Idlewild Farm, near Kei Mouth. Some of the topics discussed, included the feeding of livestock in different stages of production, the breeding of Brahman cattle in the 21 st century, the BGP program and marketing Brahman and Brahman x cattle. The 6 th annual Dicke Brahman Genetics by Design production sale will be held on the 28 th of August The line-up of bulls is exceptional this year and it will be the first time in many years that stud Brahman heifers are on sale in the Eastern Cape. At the combined Osterloh and Trollope production sale on 10 August 2018, an average price of R570,00.00 over 45 Brahman bulls were realized, with the highest price bull of R100,000 being sold to Tim Hempson from KZN. Osterloh Brahmans also participated in the sale of the Greys in May and the Osterloh & Deblanque Manso Brahman Sale in February. Eugene Osterloh also bought the highest price bull on the Loriza sale. The Sale of the Roses in June 2018 was well represented by our area with, among others, Wayne Porter from BPM, selling some outstanding animals on this prestigious sale. Northern Cape Hunt Brahmans, one of the oldest Brahman studs in SA, did their part on 14 August 2018, which saw them hosting an Information day on Brahmans for kids. The schools presented were Jan Kemp Landbou, Stella and Schweizer-Reineke. The 98 kids loved the outing and got a first-class Brahman experience. Hunt Brahmans practice what they preach and are very involved with the BGP program. At the time of writing, their bulls were in the test station at Armoedsvlakte. Sydney Hunt held a Farmers day 10 October for a selected group of Developing farmers in their area. Die Noord-Kaap se 21ste klub veiling is op 19 September 2018 gehou. Daar was 40 bulle op aanbod. Die hoogste prys vir n bul behaal was R By die Vryburg Skou 2018 het die Brahmane vir die derde jaar in n ry die meeste beeste op die skou gehad. Ons het ook vir die eerste keer Nie-Haltermak geskou. Die totale inskrywings was 162; 55 in die Nie-Haltermak afdeling en 107 in die Haltermak afdeling. Die telers in ons streek is sterk gefokus op kwaliteit en bemark hulle genetika uitstekend. Gideon van Zyl is ook weer herkies as Agri Noord-Wes se Jongboer Voorsitter en het nog n dogter ryker geword. Mira van Zyl is gebore op 31 Julie Die Jongboer Vereniging van Agri NW raak al sterker en n mede-brahmanteler naamlik JP van der Berg is die jaar bekroon as Agri NW se Jongboer van die Jaar. Hy raak dan nou saam met Gideon van Zyl en Heinrich Bruwer, die derde Brahmanteler wat die prestasie in 6 jaar behaal. Baie geluk JP. Kroonvee se gesonde boerdery omstandighede laat hulle in staat om die Brahman stoet uit te brei omdat daar soveel vertroue in ons bedryf en genetika BRAHMAN Desember 2018 December 25

28 bestaan. Ongelukkig bring dit mee dat hulle met hulle 2018 Produksie Veiling op 7 November geen vroulike diere gaan aanbied nie. Hulle word almal in Kroonvee se eie kudde opgeneem. Die Universiteit van die Vrystaat se finale jaar Landbou studente het weereens baie waarde tot hulle drome, lewe en kennis toegevoeg, na hulle besoek aan Kroonvee. Daar was die jaar 24 studente wat lesings van Jan(snr), Jan(jnr) en Gideon ontvang het oor twee dae en baie nuwe ervarings oor Brahmane en beesboerdery beleef het. Vir 2018 is die besoek datum geskeduleer vir September en raadslede of mede-telers is baie welkom om dit te kom bywoon en die mooi belewenis te ervaar. Vir Jan en Irma was hul toer om kliënte en telers te besoek in Namibië, Botswana en Zimbabwe n lewenshoogtepunt. Baie kennis, ervarings en drome is gedeel en bespreek. Die Brahman bedryf in Suider Afrika is sterk en gesond omdat leiers in die beesvleisbedryf vir die Brahman lief geraak het vanweë The Complete Breed eienskappe, asook die doelgerigte bemarking, teelbeleid en die dinamika van die Brahman telers. Vir Jan, Lubbe Jacobs (Senior Beoordelaar) en Dr. Japie Jackson was dit n eer en voorreg om n Brahman en Beesboerdery kursus in Zimbabwe aan 43 kursusgangers aan te bied, waar onder die Adj. Minister van Landbou en sy senior personeel ook by dele teenwoordig was. Die terugvoer oor die kursus is fantasties en Engelse Bylaes is deur die kursusgangers opgeraap en ook opgeneem vir verdere verspreiding. Die vraag daarna het egter die beskikbaarheid van 200 van elkeen oorheers en daar moes agterna nog baie gepos word. Nieteenstaande jare se swaarkry is die Zimbabwe boere en telers baie opgewonde en dankbaar vir Brahmane. Die Pillosofs kudde en fasiliteite was gebruik vir die praktiese deel terwyl die lesings aangebied was by die Sun International hotel. Die hoogtepunt vir die Kroon Vee Span was hul 21 ste jaarlikse Produksie- en Prestige Veiling na 45 jaar van Brahman Stoetteling. Die Kroon Vee Span bedank almal wat deel was van die Veiling. Die kopers het soos gewoonlik weer met vertroue gekoop aan die veldgrootgemaakte, harde vleisbeeste met die mooi naam Brahman. Gideon en Jan (jnr) is ook deel van n groep jongboere van Agri SA se Landbou Leierskap Ontwikkelingsprogram wat deur Stellenbosch Universiteit aangebied word. Ons vertrou vir sukses met die studies in hulle vol programme wat tot voordeel van Kroon Vee, Brahmane en Landbou in geheel sal wees. Ons kweek leiers vir ons land, ons bedryf en eie onderneming wat ons motto nastreef van If you can dream it, you can do it. Armoedsvlakte se BGP program is weereens goed ondersteun deur verskeie telers. Die ongelooflike bydra wat die telers maak tot ons genomika program is inderdaad ʼn riem onder die hart. Hier onder is die uitslae van die verskillende toetse wat gedoen is in Brahman toetse afgesluit in 2018 Toets nr Diere GDT VOV Oog Spier Jeugskou Skrotum Omtrek Ek wil almal graag inlig oor die uitstekende werk wat gedoen word deur die wonderlike mense wat die jeugskou in ons streek bedryf en die passie kweek vir die The Complete Breed. Dit was vir my opvallend hoe passievol die touleiers was in die ring op Vryburg en die liefde wat hulle met hul diere deel. Maxie Pietersen, die voorsitter van hierdie organisasie, se energie het my stom geslaan. Hierdie was n span poging van telers en kinders uit verskeie streke. Tydens 2017 se Nasionale Jeugskou wat gehou is te Bathurst, het die Noordwes Provinsie baie goed gedoen. Die Noordwes Provinsie was algeheel 2de gewees. Weereens trek die Brahmane ongelooflik baie aandag, soveel so, dat toe die afrigters van al die ander provinsies teen mekaar kompeteer, almal net met die BRAHMANE wou skou. Dit het ook tot gevolg gehad dat Mpumalanga in April 2018, 3 ROOI BRAHMANE gekoop het by Terenus Brahmane om Jeugskou te doen. Die OP provinsie gaan ook nou met BRAHMANE skou en weereens leen hulle BRAHMANE by Terenus Brahmane. Dan skou Natal ook nou net met BRAHMANE. Dit beteken dat daar nou 3 ander provinsies behalwe Noordwes is, wat met die ongelooflike beesras Brahmane skou. Baie dankie aan Noordkaap Brahman klub wat tydens die Vryburg skou die vorige jaar se wenners bederf het met n lekker dag. Ook baie dankie aan die beoordelaars tydens Vryburg skou wat die Jeugskou kinders toegelaat het om saam met hulle in die ring te kon beoordeel. Dit word opreg waardeer. Ons van Noordwes Jeugskou se kant af wil ook al die Brahman telers bedank wat altyd bereid is om hulle diere vir ons te leen. Dit is en bly n voorreg om met n Brahman Jeugskou te doen. Graag wil ek almal in ons bedryf hartlik uitnooi na ons streek en om by ons verskillende inisiatiewe betrokke te raak: be part of the complete breed. Baie dankie aan almal wat bygedra het tot hierdie wonderlike jaar en die verskaffing van inligting vir hierdie streeksverslag.

30 Donovan & Salomé hou die Noord-Kaap Brahman Klub Hy is n jong man wat wéét wat hy wil bereik en hóé hy moet maak om daar te kom. Hy glo nie aan kortpaaie nie en wanneer hy by iets betrokke raak, doen hy dit heelhartig. Dié is van die eienskappe wat mense uitlig wanneer hulle vir jou oor DONOVAN PIETERSEN vertel. Dié 21-jarige boer van die Vryburgomgewing is onlangs verkies as die Noord-Kaap Brahmanklub se voorsitter een van die héél jongste mense om nóg dié stoel te vul. Donovan is van kleintyd al by Brahmane betrokke. As skolier was deelname aan die Jeugskou een van sy passies en was hy n uitblinker op dié gebied. In 2012, op 15-jarige ouderdom, het Donovan mede-eienaar geword van die Terenus Brahmanstoet. Sy suster, Ilana, is die ander eienaar. En sederdien het Donovan nog nét vorentoe gekyk. Sy doelwit vir die Brahmanklub is om dit van krag tot krag te laat gaan en baie meer jong mense betrokke te kry. Wanneer Donovan nie tussen sy beeste is nie, sal jy hom op die rugbyveld aantref. Hy is een van die staatmakers van die Vryburg Rugbyklub en is pas tydens dié klub se jaarlikse toekennings aangewys as Voorspeler van die Jaar. Sy lyk na n meisie wat héél tuis in n modevertoning sal wees. Maar SALOMÉ SCHOLTZ (22) se pikante voete is selfs méér tuis in n paar gumboots as in hoë hakke. Op haar plaas Mara, tussen Vryburg en Stella, boer dié raakvat-meisiekind met Brahmane. Ek het baie lank gelede my hart op n Brahman verloor en toe ek in 2015 my eerste koei kon aankoop, het my keuse op dié ras geval, vertel Salomé. Dié ras is hoogs intelligent my persoonlike mening is dat hulle waarskynlik intelligenter is as sommige mense. En hulle is besonders sensitief. Na ek die eerste keer met n Brahman te doene gehad het, was daar net nie vir my n tweede keuse nie, vertel sy. Salomé is ook onlangs verkies as ondervoorsitter van die Noord-Kaap Brahmanklub, beslis een van die jongste persone nóg om dié posisie te vul en, sover vasgestel kon word, die eerste vrou deel van die Top 2-bestuurslede te wees. Ek wil graag sien dat ons klub nog verder groei. Boere moet weet dat dié n struktuur vir hulle is, ongeag of hulle met stoet of kommersiële diere boer, verwoord sy haar visie. Sy hoop ook dat die feit dat sy n jong vrou is wat tuis is in n oorwegende manswêreld, ander jong meisies sal motiveer om te weet dat hul, hul nie aan stereotipes moet steur nie. n Vrou se plek is waar sý besluit dit is. As iemand vir jou sê dat jy nie kán nie, is dit n uitstekende geleentheid om te bewys dat jy inderdaad kán. En as jy bevestiging vir dié uitspraak wil hê, hoef jy nie verder te soek as die sukses wat dié jong boer al bereik het nie. 30 BRAHMAN Desember 2018 December

32 The importance of correct procedures J.F. ELS, Manager: NSBA Jacque Francois Els is the Manager of the Namibian Stud Breeders Association (NSBA). He completed his B.Sc (Agric)(Anim. Prod) degree at the University of Pretoria in 1985 and obtained his B.Sc (Hons) (Anim. Breed) the following year. In 1995 he obtained his M.Sc (Agric)(Anim. Breed) at the University of Pretoria. He started his career as a Livestock Researcher in 1987 in the Government Service in Namibia, where he progressed to the rank of Chief Research Officer: Large Stock. During March 2010 he was appointed as Technical Advisor at the NSBA, and was appointed Manager in January Over and above his responsibilities as Manager of the NSBA, Jacque is responsible for all performance recording, as well as the registration of 8 of the 38 Breeders Societies who use the NSBA as their Registration Authority. Since 2015 Jacque has been the Technical advisor to the Namibian Brahman Breeders Society, the Namibian Santa Gertrudis Breeders Society and the Braunvieh Namibian Breeders Society with regard to the BGP Project. He is responsible for organising the bi-annual Meat Production School in Namibia and the publishing of the NSBA Journal. INTRODUCTION Animal breeding and recording has come a long way since the formation of the first Breeding Societies around the 1760 s, when the first recordings, based on pedigree information, commenced. It was during that time that the British livestock industry gained momentum and Robert Blakewell coined the phrases breed the best to the best and like begets like.this coincides with the start of the era of livestock improvement, the recognition of the purebred British breeds, British colonial expansion and the export of British breeds across the world. The British Isles were known as the stud farm of the world, a title it claimed till the middle of the 1950 s, when it lost it, due to progressive breeders in other countries, adopting and implementing modern breeding technologies. Recording of pedigrees was the first form of recording and dates back to the 1760 s with the formation of Breeding Societies. Some breeds, such as the Arab Horse, can trace some of its Bloodlines back, even later. The South African Studbook and Livestock Improvement Association, as it is known today, was established in 1905 with the purpose of registering purebred livestock in South Africa, and later South-West Africa, today called Namibia, issuing Studbook Certificates and to publish the S.A. Studbook. Today it has a membership of more than stud breeders. South Africa followed the example of the U.S.A., and on 4 December 1959 established the first National Beef Performance Testing Scheme, the first outside of the U.S.A. This was followed by the National Milk Recording Scheme in National Small Stock Performance Testing Scheme was established during 1964 as the Fleece Testing Centre at Grootfontein in the Eastern Cape, which can be subdivided into the Wooled Sheel Performance Testing Scheme(WSPTS) and the Mutton Sheep and Goat Performance Testing Scheme. The National Beef Cattle Performance Testing Scheme was established in Namibia during Namibian stud breeders registered their animals with SA Studbook until With Independence in 1990 the Livestock Improvement Act (Act 25 of 1977), was amended to provide for the establishment of autonomous breeders societies in Namibia and the issuing of registration certificates. On the 23 January 1992 the Namibian Stud Breeders Association (NSBA) was established with representatives of 16 breeds present. During 2004 the NSBA signed a contract with Breedplan, and has since been using this programme and currently represents approximately 700 breeders of 38 breeds (cattle, sheep, goats, horses and dogs owning animals (NSBA 2018) The first Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) breeding values for growth traits were produced in the U.S.A. during the late 1970 s/early 1980 s. In South Africa the first BLUP breeding values were published during Today a large array of EBV s are published. The evolution of DNA Technologies revolutionised the breeding industry. During 1989 the first genetic marker for marbling was developed, and was released during It became known as the GENESTAR tests. The results were reported as stars, representing the presence or absence of an advantageous marbling DNA Marker. During 2005 a further 2 marbling and 4 tenderness 32 BRAHMAN Desember 2018 December
