Veeplaas Januarie 2025
Plaas Media se jaarlikse Santam Landbou Nasionale Kuilvoerkompetisie het in 2024 sy elfde suksesvolle jaar voltooi. Die afgelope kompetisie was strawwer as ooit en in hierdie uitgawe van Veeplaas onthul ons nie net die 2024 Kuilvoerkoning nie, maar bied ook terugvoer en insigte oor die kompetisie-uitslae en -data, en gee terugvoer op ’n aantal kuilvoerdae wat ons bygewoon het. Soos gewoonlik het ons ’n uitstaande artikel-aanbod. Die uitwerking van die lang droogte in die Sentraal-Karoo is besonder boeiende leesstof. ’n Artikel uit die Karoo wat hierby aansluit, is oor ’n gesin wat Merino-biltong verskaf nadat hulle dit uit nood begin maak het. Ons besoek ’n paar veeprodusente op hul plase en doen verslag oor ’n klompie boerdery-aspekte soos wolklassering en -gehalte, asook die jongste verwikkelinge ten opsigte van die nasionale naspeurbaarheidstelsel.
