Yoani Borans a perspective by Robin Stanley (KENYA) Yoani Farm was one of the smaller land holdings in Machakos district and the last to have been allocated and bought by the early settlers.

It had a hilly and rough terrain compared to other farms on the Athi-Kapiti plains and really wasn t the top choice of properties. During WW2 Robin W.

After the war Yoani came up for allocation and Robin Snr put in a bid to buy the land.

There was no water supply and the arduous and expensive task of drilling for water started. The first three drilling attempts failed and the money ran out!

1 Yoani Borans a perspective by Robin Stanley (KENYA) Yoani Farm was one of the smaller land holdings in Machakos district and the last to have been allocated and bought by the early settlers. It was covered by thick bush, lion and hyena in plenty and there was no permanent water. It had a hilly and rough terrain compared to other farms on the Athi-Kapiti plains and really wasn t the top choice of properties. During WW2 Robin W. Stanley (Snr) and his wife Mona managed F O B Wilson Limited farm at KilimaKiu which when sold later became Aimi ma Kilungu. After the war Yoani came up for allocation and Robin Snr put in a bid to buy the land. His reputation as a cattleman and his service in a reserved occupation during the war helped and in 1947 he bought LR 1748 of 5048 acres. What you see was what you get! There was no water supply and the arduous and expensive task of drilling for water started. The first three drilling attempts failed and the money ran out! Robin and Mona went to work in Subukia in 1950 to save again to invest in the farm and came back in 1953, drilled again and struck water in The supply was not huge, 300 gallons per hour, but it provided some water security for developing the farm and creating a small herd was now a reality. In those days the immediate neighbours were large, well-developed properties. Notably: F.O B Wilson Ltd., Joyce Ltd, Kima Estate (Jock Stanley), Mousley & Sons Limited at Kiu and Jack Blowers at Marwa Sisal Estate. At Sultan Hamud was Ken Sands and further on at Emali was W.B. Thomson later to become Norman Peckover s. They all ran cattle, breeding the likes of Aberdeen Angus, Ayrshire, Sahiwal, Guernsey, and Dairy Shorthorn. Of course Boran was the foundation of all the herds. Dairying was the cash enterprise that developed almost every farm in the district. Dairy ranching, with a pull-suck system where the cows were separated from their calves overnight and milked in the morning, was the norm in the area. Large numbers of cows were run on these ranches and there was a lot of milk produced. F. O B Wilson Ltd milked up to 900 cows by machine and had their own processing factory, as did Joyce Limited and Kima Estate. The Stanleys at Yoani delivered their milk to Kima Estate to be pasteurized and sent daily on the overnight milk train to Mombasa. An old photograph shows the Kima Estate lorry loaded with 80 milk cans (4,000 litres) ready to go to the station. That is still an impressive statistic in any dry-land area. After Robin & Mona s son David returned from Australia in 1959, the three tackled the development of Yoani in earnest. In 1968 Jane Stanley joined the team with wholehearted enthusiasm. In 1971 a Caterpillar D6C bulldozer was bought and development of the land carried on apace. Dams, roads, erosion control drains and most importantly the thick bush cleared and the carrying capacity soon doubled. Stanley & Son Limited was formed in The Kenya Dairy Board intervened and stopped the Mombasa milk market to give favour to the Mariakani Milk Scheme. This meant that in Machakos District milk supplies had to be delivered to Kenya Cooperative Creameries (KCC) factory in Enterprise Road, Nairobi. Milk suppliers were regulated by quota and contract and the price was set according to KCC performance. The milk cheque was invariably late by sixty days. Any desire to expand a milk business meant a farmer had to buy quota at a premium price. Failure to deliver was penalized by a quota cut. This quota restriction prevented expansion and forced David and Jane to think again as to how to educate their two sons, William and Robin. The only route was to by-pass KCC and get into added value products. Stanley & Son Limited bought a cream business in Nairobi and with the fame of Brian Granville-Ross of Endesha Distributers Limited together built the Stanley Cream business for twenty years in the 80 s and 90 s. In 1993 Yoani was into a very bad drought and was obliged to feedlot the dairy cows (zero-grazing). Amichai Naveh, the animal nutrition specialist BORAN JOURNAL JOERNAAL

2 of Agriner Limited helped formulate the rations. In this way the dry season milk supply for cream was maintained. When the milk industry was finally deregulated and the price of whole milk decontrolled, it allowed Yoani to supply milk to local distributors who were desperate to get started in business. Then the purchase of the first RMH 320 feed mixer wagon from Israel followed, to provide cows with a Total Mixed Ration (TMR). This was a real labour saving move because hay, silage, molasses and concentrate feeds could be accurately measured and easily fed out to groups of cattle at different stages of lactation with different feed requirements. Soon after, in 1996, came a new model of mixer wagon the RMH 420 which is still in use on Yoani today. This is a powerful machine and able to cope with up to 4 tonnes of feed at each mix. In 1998 Robin (Jnr) joined the Stanley team having excelled at Massey University in New Zealand. He was well versed in the latest research in Ruminant Nutrition and Farm Management. He could not have arrived at a time when Yoani was in a more perfect condition. El Niño rains were on and the farm was green grass from one end to the other. To make hay the grass had to be draped on fence lines to dry. Needless to say within the first month all grand ideas break-feeding the milking cows came down with a thump when the electric fence energizer and battery were stolen out of a metal box having only been there one night! Any grand ideas of a Kiwi system were stymied as the reality of where we were farming sank in. However, not all of Yoani was suitable for running exotic dairy cows. Hilly terrain and thick bush is suited to tougher types. A beef herd of 120 F1 Boran cross Friesian cows bred from selected Friesian cows ran very effectively. These F1 s are back-crossed to Boran to produce three-quarter Boran steers and heifers. Only the best Friesians are served with progeny tested Friesian A.I. for dairy replacements and the rest are served by registered Boran Bulls to breed replacements for the ranching herd. There were always a handful of registered Boran cows running with the ranching herd and these were used to breed bulls for serving the dairy cows. In the early 90s there was severe bout of calf scours in the hand reared dairy calves and the losses made a big hole in the replacements for the dairy herd. A quick decision was made and the commercial F1 Boran cross Friesian cows were transferred to milking duties and this temporarily brought an end to the commercial herd. The cross breeds easily convert to milking, showing their dual purpose and adaptable nature. The transfer reduced the ranching herd as most had now become milk farmers. In August 1993 David bought fifteen registered Foundation heifers from John and Jane Kenyon at Mogwooni Ltd and in March 1994 another eighteen heifers from Gilfrid Powys at Kisima Pinguone, now Suyian Ltd. The Yoani Boran stud resumed in earnest with about 40 cows. The first bull used on the Mogwooni heifers was 373/42 bought from Solio Ranch where Pat Smith was managing. 373/42 was a well-muscled stocky type and had already been serving dairy bulling heifers. When the Pinguone heifers arrived, a 10 year old Solio bull 109/30 was put with the whole herd. He had been the main working bull in the crossbreds achieving impressive calving percentages. One year he achieved a 100% pregnancy rate. 109/30 and 373/42 formed the backbone of the Yoani Boran stud. 109 s was noted for excellent feet and legs and the bull continued serving until he was 16 years old. He was put down in the 2000 drought. We managed to collect 1600 straws of semen from 109/30 which was stored at C.A.I.S. for use on our Friesians. Unfortunately, when about 1000 straws were remaining an error at C.A.I.S. spoilt the remaining doses. This was a terrible loss of irreplaceable genetics. 109/30 had the ability to nick well with cows and produce good quality progeny with longevity traits. One of his sons (943/109) while at Suyian had semen collected. It is understood that there are about 500 doses of his semen still stored at OlPejeta. David and Jane became synonymous with the running of the early Livestock Breeders Show & Sale under the chairmanship of Mary Nevill. Together with Nancy Shaban they ran the show office and the treasury until 2017 BORAN JOURNAL JOERNAAL 115

the time that Brookside took over. Showing cattle is excellent fun and always good to keep ones eye in to what other breeders are achieving with their Borans.

It does not define Yoani s existence as it was up against large stud herds and as one knows, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

3 the time that Brookside took over. Showing cattle is excellent fun and always good to keep ones eye in to what other breeders are achieving with their Borans. Yoani was pretty successful at showing and sometimes we struck lucky and came away with the champion bull in 2000, 2004 and reserve champion in It does not define Yoani s existence as it was up against large stud herds and as one knows, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The idea of the F1 Milking cow class as a display was initiated in The feedback from show goers and the knock-on success of this tough animal that was excellent for the small holder, spurred on the policy of maintaining the F1 as a key part of the dairying enterprise. At present there are about170 crossbred milk cows with the majority being ¾ Friesian ¼ Boran. These are turning out to be the perfect cow for the conditions and a conservation feeding system has been developed to provide for the higher yields. It has become obvious that having the Boran traits in a dairy cow make it a low maintenance, commercial dairy animal. We are not just talking of any Boran blood! The performance statistics show that the Yoani Borans are currently have an average of 410 day calving interval. This trait has influenced the crossbred and a60% first service conception rate is achieved; up from 52% with Friesian. This has a significant impact on the profitability of a commercial dairy system. One of the most important principles is that tough selection of the heifers is crucial to the herd. The female progeny of any sire will have a far greater impact on the future and success of the herd. Long after the prime steers have been sold and the show bulls have won their prizes, replacement heifers will still remain on the farm producing the next generation. Selection is very harsh especially on feet, legs, adaptability, calving interval and post weaning growth rate(based on the research by ReinhardTonn.***) Yoani produces outstanding bulls each year for the Stud market, but the majority are sold to the local ranchers in Kajiado, Ukambani and Taita Taveta. The aim is to select female bloodlines producing bulls able to achieve growth rates of 16 kg per month. Not much faith is put in weaner weights or the percentage of the dam s weight achieved as these are measures of the maternal environment. Instead, the post-weaning performance using 300 and 600 day weights is the main selection criteria.

19 Jackie x Khan The backbone of the Vastrap Stud The two most prominent bloodlines in the Vastrap Boran herd are the Jackie mother line and the Khan sire line. The Jackie's have been prolific breeders because of their enormous flushing capabilities and excellent fertility. Pairing them with Khan MHB 04-27, a bull with serious X-Factor, has produced some of the best offspring at Vastrap. Little wonder it s a formula we have relied on over and over again! The Jackie/Khan combination consistently produces progeny that are characteristically Boran with excellent leg structure, a superb feminine wedge and broad chests. The bulls are hard and muscular with awesome constitution, enabling them to keep their condition through the mating season and in harsh conditions. Many excellent Jackie/Khans have originated from the Vastrap stud. A few worth noting are: Jackie MHB named Champion of the Yard at the 2015 Boran Expo; Jackie MHB sold at the 2016 Vastrap Auction; Jackie VST 12-40, a current favourite at Vastrap; and VST 13-84, the highest priced bull at the 2016 Vastrap Auction (R ).

26 STORIES TheCookie thief A woman was waiting at an airport one night, with several long hours before her flight. She hunted for a book in the airport shops, bought a bag of cookies and found a place to drop. She was engrossed in her book but happened to see, that the man sitting beside her, as bold as could be...grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between, which she tried to ignore to avoid a scene. So she munched the cookies and watched the clock, as the gutsy cookie thief diminished her stock. She was getting more irritated as the minutes ticked by, thinking, If I wasn t so nice, I would blacken his eye. With each cookie she took, he took one too, when only one was left, she wondered what he would do. With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, he took the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered her half, as he ate the other, she snatched it from him and thought oooh, brother. This guy has some nerve and he s also rude, why he didn t even show any gratitude! She had never known when she had been so galled, and sighed with relief when her flight was called. She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate, refusing to look back at the thieving ingrate. She boarded the plane, and sank in her seat, then she sought her book, which was almost complete. As she reached in her baggage, she gasped with surprise, there was her bag of cookies, in front of her eyes. If mine are here, she moaned in despair, the others were his, and he tried to share. Too late to apologize, she realized with grief, that she was the rude one, the ingrate, the thief.

29 STORIES Face difficulties Positively This parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer s well. The farmer heard the mule praying or whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule, but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbours together, told them what had happened, and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery. Initially the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbours continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back, a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back, HE WOULD SHAKE IT OFF AND STEP UP! This he did, blow after blow. Shake it off and step up shake it off and step up shake it off and step up! He repeated to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows, or how distressing the situation seemed, the old mule fought panic and just kept right on SHAKING IT OFF AND STEPPING UP! It wasn t long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, stepped triumphantly over the wall of that well! What seemed like it would bury him actually helped him all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity. THAT S LIFE! If we face our problems and respond to them positively, and refuse to give in to panic, bitterness, or self-pity. Unknown BORAN JOURNAL JOERNAAL

STORIES The Smell of Rain A cold March wind danced around the dead of night in Dallas as the Doctor walked into the small hospital room of Diana Blessing.

30 STORIES The Smell of Rain A cold March wind danced around the dead of night in Dallas as the Doctor walked into the small hospital room of Diana Blessing. Still groggy from surgery, her husband David held her hand as they braced themselves for the latest news. That afternoon of March 10,1991, complications had forced Diana, only 24 weeks pregnant, to Danae Lu Blessing. At 12 inches long and weighing only one pound and nine ounces, they already knew she was perilously premature. Still, the doctor s soft words dropped like bombs. I don t think she s going to make it, he said, as kindly as he could. There s only a 10 percent chance she will live through the night, and even then, if by some slim chance she does make it, her future could be a very cruel one. Numb with disbelief, David and Diana listened as the doctor described the devastating problems Danae would likely face if she survived. She would never walk, she would never talk, she would probably be blind, and she would certainly be prone to other catastrophic conditions from cerebral palsy to complete mental retardation, and on and on. No! No! was all Diana could say. She and David, with their 5-year-old son Dustin, had long dreamed of the day they would have a daughter to become a family of four. Now, within a matter of hours, that dream was slipping away. Through the dark hours of morning as Danae held onto life by the thinnest thread, Diana slipped in and out of sleep, growing more and more determined that their tiny daughter would live, and live to be a healthy, happy young girl. But David, fully awake and listening to additional dire details of their daughter s chances of ever leaving the hospital alive, much less healthy, knew he must confront his wife with the inevitable. David walked in and said that we needed to talk about making funeral arrangements. Diana remembers, I felt so bad for him because he was doing everything, trying to include me in what was going on, but I just wouldn t listen, I couldn t listen. I said, No, that is not going to happen, no way! I don t care what the doctors say; Danae is not going to die! One day she will be just fine, and she will be coming home with us! As if willed to live by Diana s determination, Danae clung to life hour after hour, with the help of every medical machine and marvel her miniature body could endure. But as those first days passed, a new agony set in for David and Diana. Because Danae s under-developed nervous system was essentially raw, the lightest kiss or caress only intensified her discomfort, so they couldn t even cradle their tiny baby girl against their chests to offer the strength of their love. All they could do, as Danae struggled alone beneath the ultraviolet light in the tangle of tubes and wires, was to pray that God would stay close to their precious little girl. There was never a moment when Danae suddenly grew stronger. But as the weeks went by, she did slowly gain an ounce of weight here and an ounce of strength there. At last, when Danae turned two months old, her parents were able to hold her in their arms for the very first time. And two months laterthough doctors continued to gently but grimly warn that her chances of surviving, much less living any kind of normal life, were next to zero. Danae went home from the hospital, just as her mother had predicted. Today, five years later, Danae is a petite but feisty young girl with glittering gray eyes and an unquenchable zest for life. She shows no signs, what so ever, of any mental or physical impairment. Simply, she is everything a little girl can be and morebut that happy ending is far from the end of her story. One blistering afternoon in the summer of 1996 near her home in Irving, Texas, Danae was sitting in her mother s lap in the bleachers of a local ballpark where her brother Dustin s baseball team was practicing. As always, Danae was chattering non-stop with her mother and several other adults sitting nearby when she suddenly fell silent. Hugging her arms across her chest, Danae asked, Do you smell that? Smelling the air and detecting the approach of a thunderstorm, Diana replied, Yes, it smells like rain. Danae closed her eyes and again asked, Do you smell that? Once again, her mother replied, Yes, I think we re about to get wet, it smells like rain. Still caught in the moment, Danae shook her head, patted her thin shoulders with her small hands and loudly announced, No, it smells like Him. It smells like God when you lay your head on His chest. Tears blurred Diana s eyes as Danae then happily hopped down to play with the other children. Before the rains came, her daughter s words confirmed what Diana and all the members of the extended Blessing family had known, at least in their hearts, all along. During those long days and nights of her first two months of her life, when her nerves were too sensitive for them to touch her, God was holding Danae on His chest and it is His loving scent that she remembers so well.
