BORAN NEWSLETTER / NUUSBRIEF BOODSKAP VAN DIE / MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT In n oogwink is ons aan die einde van 2017. n Jaar wat vir die meeste dele in ons land beter was as 2016, maar waar sommige dele nog gebukkend gaan onder erge droogte. Dit is in hierdie tye dat n mens die medelye van boere aan hul mede-boere kan sien en ervaar. In a blink of an eye we are at the end of 2017. A year that was better for most parts of our country than it was in 2016, but some parts are still under severe drought. It is in these times that one can experience the compassion of farmers to their fellow farmers. As ons terugkyk na die laaste semester van 2017, het dit baie positief afgeskop met die Nasionale Veiling en die gebeure daar rondom, soos die Dinee en Algemene Jaarvergadering. Die bywoning van die funksies was baie goed en n aanduiding van die positiewe gesindheid van ons telers en belangstellendes. Die daaropvolgende veilings was ook goed ondersteun en diere van hoogstaande gehalte is aangebied. Ek wil graag die telers gelukwens met die standaard van diere op veilings. Deur die kwaliteit in ag te neem, is dit duidelik dat die ras nog steeds vordering maak. Looking back to the last semester of 2017, it has been very positive with the National Auction and the other events such as the Dinner and Annual General Meeting. The functions were well attended and is an indication of the positive attitude of our breeders and interested parties. The auctions following the National Auction were also well supported and animals of high quality were offered. I would like to congratulate breeders on the standard of animals offered on auction. Taking into account the quality of the animals, it is clear that the breed still makes progress. We have neglected the truth that a good farmer is a craftsman of the highest order, a kind of artist. WENDELL BERRY 3

BORAN NEWSLETTER / NUUSBRIEF Graag wil ek my dankbaarheid uitspreek teenoor ons twee administratiewe dames, Christine en Hesther, vir die uitmuntende werk wat hul in die kantore verrig. Die Rasbestuurder, Martin van Rooyen, wat sy eerste jaar by die Genootskap voltooi het, het ook n groot bydrae gelewer tot die sukses van 2017 deur die veilings, inligtingsdae en kursusse wat hy bygewoon en aangebied het. In die Raad is n nuwe Raadslid verwelkom, naamlik Eloff Muller, wat die Finansiële Portefeule sal hanteer. n Spesiale woord van dank aan elke Raadslid, vir die moeite wat hul doen om die ras uit te bou tot een van die beste vleisbeesrasse ter wereld. Jul onbaatsugtige diens aan die ras en medetelers word opreg waardeer. Ek wil n beroep doen op elke teler om aan prestasietoetskemas deel te neem, sodat ons kan bewys dat die Boranras die kommersiële teler se ras van keuse moet wees. Hierdie inligting sal derhalwe ook gebruik kan word vir bemarking van die ras. Die struktuur waarop keurings plaasvind is verander vir die komende jaar. Dit sal weer hanteer word soos in die verlede, deurdat telers aansoek doen vir een gratis keuring per jaar. Dit is vir geen keurder n aangename taak om aan die teler mee te deel dat sy dier nie aan die vereistes, soos neergele deur die Genootskap, voldoen nie. Ek versoek telers om keurders op die hande te dra wanneer keurings en screenings gedoen word. Hierdie keurders beoefen elk hul eie beroep en staan hul persoonlike tyd en kennis af tot uitbouing van die ras. Die bestaande klubs funsioneer goed, maar daar is steeds dele in ons land waar telers n behoefte aan n klub het. Ek wil dus telers aanmoedig om die klubs te ondersteun en nuwe klubs te stig waar nodig. Met die samwerking van die klubs, word daar verskeie inligtingsdae en kursusse aangebied wat in 2017 baie goed ondersteun was. Die Raad handhaaf n deursigtige beleid en nooi lede uit om met probleme of komplimente met die spesifieke Raadslid wat daardie portefeulje beklee, te nader. Ter afsluiting wens ek elke lid n nat somerkersgety toe. Mag alle telers en hul gesinne in hierdie feestyd veilig wees, die gras op elke plaas groen en die kalwers blink wees. Borangroete Jeras I would like to express my gratitude to our two administrative ladies, Christine and Hesther, for the excellent work they do in the offices. The Breed Manager, Martin van Rooyen, who completed his first year at the Society, also made a major contribution to the success of the auctions, information days and courses he attended in 2017. We welcomed a new member to Council, namely Eloff Muller, who will assist with the Finances Portfolio. A special word of thanks to every Council member for the effort they made to promoting the breed into one of the best beef cattle breeds in the world. Your unselfish service to breed and breeders alike, is highly appreciated. I appeal to each breeder to participate in performance testing schemes, to enable us to proof that the Boran breed must be the breed of choice. This information can also be used in the marketing of the breed. The structure in which inspections are done has been changed for the coming year. Inspections will be conducted the same way as in the past. Members will apply for a free selection per year. It s a unpleasant task for any inspector to inform the breeder that his animal does not meet the requirements as laid down by the Society. I ask all breeders to treat inspectors with courtesy when conducting their tests and screenings. Keep in mind that inspectors have their own professions and dedicate their personal time and knowledge to the development of the breed. The existing clubs work well, but there are still parts in the country where clubs are needed. I encourage breeders to support the clubs and to establish new clubs where necessary. In cooperation of the clubs, various information days and courses were offered that were very well supported in 2017. The Council maintains a transparent policy and invites breeders to approach the particular Council member of that portfolio, with problems or compliments. In conclusion, I wish each member to have a rainy summer. May all members and their families be safe during this festive season. May the grass on each farm be green and the calves shiny. Boran Greetings Jeras 4

BORAN NEWSLETTER / NUUSBRIEF KLUB NEWS KLUB NUUS CLUB NEWS Klub n KZN BORAN CLUB It has been very busy since our AGM in early March. We have had an information day at Mount Verde with Cedara Agric College and Mangosuthu Technikon which was attended by 100 students, 20 locals and 10 club members. Then we had another information day with Weston Agric school in Mooi River on Peter Kean s farm which was well attended and enjoyed by 35 students. We then had another very successful Royal Show with lots of interest shown and enquiries about the Boran. Most members were present and helped man the stand for the 6 days. Since the Royal Show I have been very involved with AFASA (African Farmers Association of SA) on the 22 of June. We started with a farmers day in Sweetwaters, Pietermaritzburg which was attended by Ivan Voigt and myself. I gave a talk in Zulu on the Boran to about 100 locals which went down very well. Three bulls from KZN Breeders were donated to the chief to be used in his community. Then on 9 th August I attended an AFASA gathering with the local stock owners in the Mpophomeni area adjacent to my farm where I gave a talk in Zulu on the Boran. On 25 August 2017 I went to Ulundi to attend another day at the open day of James Nxumalo Agricultural high school where I also gave a talk on Borans to pupils and their parents. There were about 250 people in attendance. Jamie Oglesby was also in attendance and very kindly brought a trailer load of cattle for them to see. Then on the 28 September I attended another AFASA day at Inguga Farm in the Mpophomeni area close to me and gave another talk on Boran and the importance of using better quality bulls to improve their livestock. The following day I attended a day at Ntokozweni in the Impendle area where Tim Ralfe and I were in attendance. Tim spoke to about 100 locals about the Boran and how Boran Bulls could improve their cattle. Lastly on 24 October 2017 I spoke to a group of emerging farmers in the Himeville area about general livestock breeding and the importance of good herd health and the importance of good quality bulls and touched on the Boran Bulls that could improve their livestock, this opportunity was given to me by RPO. Until next time cheers Mark KAAP BORAN KLUB Na n baie geslaagte 2016 veiling het n paar van ons klublede gereeld bymekaar gekom. Ons het as groep gereeld kuddes besoek en ook gereeld mekaar se kuddes besoek wat baie leersaam was. Ons het ook as groep n hele paar veilings bygewoon en wil graag volgende jaar meer veilings bywoon. Megaweek, Bredasdorp was weereens n reuse sukses met honderde mense wat ons stalletjie besoek het, glo hierdie uitstalling gaan van krag tot krag. Dankie aan al die lede wat gehelp het by Megaweek. Uitstekende diere is vir 2017 veiling uitgesoek by telers deur klublede en ek glo hierdie veiling gaan n reuse sukses wees. Boran groete Christo Crafford 8

uus WATERBERG BORAN KLUB Die Waterberg Boran Klub se belangrikste fokus vanjaar was die aanbied van twee veilings in April en in Oktober by die Warmbad Veemark onder die Out of Africa vaandel. Beide veilings was goed ondersteun. Tydens die onlangse 14 Oktober veiling is daar vir die eerste keer ook kommersiële Borandiere aangebied en die vraag was lewendig. Die Klub beplan om in die toekoms tydens hulle veilings, ook meer gereeld kommersiële diere aan te bied ten einde die mark te ontgin. Vanaf 14-19 Augustus het die Klub ook deelgeneem aan die Warmbad Veemark skou en daar was goeie belangstelling in die Boranuitstalling. Die Klub groei steeds met heelparty nuwe lede wat vanjaar aangesluit het. Die Klub se jaarafsluiting vind plaas op7-8 Desember by Johan Henning (Marones) en Dr. Japie van der Westhuizen van Stamboek kom n aanbieding doen oor blup en teelwaardes. Groete Braam Dekker MPUMALANGA BORAN CLUB The Mpumalanga Boran Club was established some 18 months ago. As the youngest regional club in the Boran community there has been some catching up to do. The club s activities to date have included information days hosted at the Bothasberg Boerdery (Stofberg), Janvos Landgoed (Bethal), and Pitsa Ya Metsi (Lydenburg) Boran studs respectively. The club also held a Junior Inspectors Course at Janvos Landgoed. The information days, largely focussed on promoting the Boran breed in the province, have been very well received. Attendees have included Boran stud farmers, commercial farmers and other interested parties. Of significant importance to the Boran breed in Mpumalanga is the increasing levels of interest from potential Boran stud breeders and commercial cattle farmers who, through the efforts of the society to promote the breed, have increasingly become informed as to the suitability of the Boran breed in cross breeding programmes. There has been an increase in the number of new Boran stud breeders in the region and this bodes well for the future. It is believed that this increased level of interest in the Boran breed is due to the recognition of the hybrid vigour (stature, biomass, and fertility of offspring) imparted to cattle crossbreeds using the Boran strain with its particular and diverse genetic makeup, and the increasing amount of positive information pertaining to the suitability and adaptability of the Boran cattle and Boran cross breeds in the feedlot environment. This is especially so since the 2016 drought when it became evident that the tough and hardy Boran and Boran crosses were better able to withstand the adverse dry conditions prevailing in the country at the time in comparison to many other cattle breeds and cross breeds. The Junior Inspectors Course held at Janvos Landgoed and ably presented by Johan Erasmus was particularly well attended and there is considerable interest in hosting further training courses. The interest stems from stud breeders and commercial cattle farmers seeking to improve their knowledge of the breed and its specific traits in the ongoing effort to improve the breed. It has been recognised, that the region, although encompassing many Boran breeders, does not have many senior inspectors and this has placed pressure on the Society to adequately cater for the requirement of local breeders in respect of inspections and auction screenings. The club sees the need to increase the number of senior inspectors in the region to alleviate this situation and will be addressing this particular matter as a priority. Although the club to date is not directly involved in the Mpumalangabased auctions the club is particularly pleased at the results of the Boran sales held in the province, specifically, the production sales by Hurwitz Farming, Bryne Valley, and Ntaba Nyoni, and the Vleissentraal Mpumalanga Boran Auction. The club expects that the increase in the number of Boran stud breeders in the region will in time provide the impetus to increase the number of Boran auctions regionally as new breeders enter the market. The club was particularly pleased to be recognised by the Society at the 2017 National Dinner, as the club who had most actively promoted the Boran breed during the year. Although not resting on this laurel the club hopes to increase its activities through further information days, promotion of the breed at agricultural shows, cattle information tours etc., and particularly to reach-out to sub-regions in Mpumalanga and perhaps further afield (e.g Swaziland) so as to further extend the Boran Society s reach and enhance the continued promotion of the breed.

BORAN NEWSLETTER / NUUSBRIEF EEN TREE TE VER... Wanneer veediewe, rowers, vreemde vee of loslopende diere jou grensdraad oorsteek, sal dit jou baat om te weet hoe die wet jou en jou eiendom beskerm en hoe die wet vereis jy moet opree. Daar is twee wette wat ter sprake is as dit kom by jou plaas se grense naamlik die Wet op Oortreding (6 van 1959), en die Omheiningswet (31 van 1963). Wet op Oortreding Ingevolge die Wet op Oortreding is n betreder n persoon wat onregmatig en sonder toestemming op iemand anders se grond teenwoordig is. So n persoon maak hom of haar skuldig aan n kriminele oortreding. Iemand wat n wettige rede het om op iemand anders se eiendom te wees, kan nie skuldig bevind word aan betreding nie selfs al is hy of sy daar sonder die eienaar se toestemming. Daarom kan iemand wat goedere aflewer, n verteenwoordiger of iemand wat navraag doen oor aanwysings, nie n oortreder wees nie. Die Wet op Oortreding maak nietemin voorsiening vir die vervolging om te bewys dat die beskuldigde die eiendom sonder toestemming betree het. Die persoon in die beskuldigdebank moet n wettige rede vir sy teenwoordigheid kan verskaf. Vee-eienaars moet seker maak dat persone wat van veediefstal aangekla word, ook aangekla word van onwettige betreding. Die straf vir hierdie oortreding is n boete van hoogstens R2 000 of tronkstraf van hoogstens twee jaar, of beide. Omheiningswet Ingevolge die Omheiningswet is die volgende n misdryf: As iemand n hek in n heining oopmaak en dit ooplaat of los laat bly, of as so n persoon n hek wat hy oop aantref as hy daar deurgaan, nie toe- en vasmaak nie (artikel 22). As iemand deur of oor n hek of heining klim of kruip sonder die toestemming van die eienaar of huurder van die grond waarop die heining of hek geleë is (artikel 23). As iemand n hek of heining opsetlik beskadig of verwyder (artikel 24). Vee-eienaars moet seker maak dat persone wat aangekla word van veediefstal ook aangekla word van oortreding van die Omheiningswet. Hulle kan n boete van hoogstens R50 of tronkstraf van drie maande opgelê word. Iemand wat aan n tweede of opeenvolgende oortreding skuldig is, kan tot tronkstraf sonder die keuse van n boete gevonnis word. 10

Vreemde vee op plaas Indien n grondeienaar vreemde vee op sy plaas aantref, is die eienaar van die vee gewoonlik aanspreeklik vir enige skade wat hulle veroorsaak deur daar te wei, selfs as daar geen nalatigheid betrokke is nie. Die eienaar van die vee is aanspreeklik, self al het die diere toegang verkry deur die nalatigheid van n derde persoon, byvoorbeeld iemand wat die hek na n naburige eiendom oopgelaat het. Sulke diere mag nie vir langer as 48 uur nadat jy hulle opgemerk het, op jou eiendom bly tensy jy n skriftelike kennisgewing aan die dier se eienaar gestuur het of, indie jy nie weet wie die eienaar is nie, die naaste skutmeester in kennis gestel het nie. Jy mag nie die dier verkoop nie. As jy dit doen, kan die eienaar die waarde van die dier van jou verhaal asook die skade wat hy as gevolg van die verkoop gely het. Jy sal ook aan n misdryf skuldig wees. Indien jy diere van buite Suid-Afrika op jou eiendom aantref, moet jy die diere isoleer en die staat se veeartsenydienste in kennis stel, wat aan jou sal voorskryf wat om met die diere te doen. Enigiemand wat n dier aan die skutmeerster lewer, is geregtig op n fooi vir die aanjaag of vervoer van die dier, soos uiteengesit in die provinsiale ordonnansies. Indien een van jou werknemers die dier na die skut neem, stuur n nota saam wat die dier beskryf en jou werknemer magtig om dit aan die skutmeester te oorhandig. Die skutmeester kan die voorgeskrewe vervoerkoste, skutgelde en ander uigawes om die dier te ent, dip of the behandel, verhaal voordat n geskutte dier vrygelaat word. As n dier nie opgeëis word nie, kan die skutmeester dit per openbare veiling vir kontant verkoop. Loslopende diere Groot probleme word ook met loslopende diere ondervind, veral op strate en langs paaie. Die grootste bekommernis is die motorongelukke wat hierdie diere veroorsaak, wat tot lewensverlies en groot skade aan voertuie kan lei. Soms betree hierdie diere ook mense se persele en beskadig plante en selfs voertuie. Die veediefstaleenheid mag op hierdie loslopende diere beslag lê en hulle na n skut neem. Die eienaars moet n bedrag betaal om die diere terug te kry. Nie alle dorpe se munisipaliteite het egter skutkrale nie. Vee-eienaars moet veewagters aanstel wat te alle tye na hul diere kan kyk. Streng boetes kan aan skuldige eienaars uitgereik word indien loslopende diere as hul eiendom geidentifiseer word. Onwettige jag met honde Onwettige jag met honde kom al hoe meer voor. Onwettige jagters betree eiendom en beskadig heinings. Hul honde val vee asook wild aan. Grondeienaars is gefrustreerd omdat hulle sukkel om sulke oortreders aan die pen te laat ry. Grondeienaars en jagters is nie vertroud met die regte van grondeienaars nie. Indien n grondeienaar bewys het van onwettige jag op sy grond, kan hy die oortreders laat aankeer. Sulke eienaars moet soveel moontlik bewyse soos foto s en verklarings van getuies kry, ten einde die arrestasies te regverdig en vervolging te verseker. Onwettige jag met honde kom neer op wilddiefstel, wat deur die howe as n erstige oortreding beskou word. Dien n formele klagte of klagtes by die polisie in, maar kry alle bewyse agtermekaar om die polisie en die aanklaer te oortuig om die verdagtes aan te kla. Die belangrikste boodskap is dat jag met honde en oortreding op private eiendom onwettig is en oortreders vervolg kan word. n Paar veiligheidswenke Gaan alle heinings en hekke gereeld na en hou hulle in stand om vee te beskerm. Stel n opgeleide werknemer aan om die heinings daagliks te patroleer, wat ook kan verseker dat gate in en onder heinings onmiddellik herstel word. Inspekteer self hierdie herstelwerk. Indien jy dit oorweeg om nog n plaas te koop, is dit beter as dit naby die bewoonde plaas is. Onthou ver van jou goed, naby jou skade. Sorg dat gesteelde vee nie op jou eiendom versteek kan word nie, byvoorbeeld by veeposte. Tel minstens een keer n week self jou vee by veeposte. Meld alle voorvalle van veediefstal op jou eiendom dadelik aan. Hoe langer die vertraging, hoe kleiner is die waarskynlikheid dat die oortreder suksesvol vervolg gaan word.

BORAN NEWSLETTER / NUUSBRIEF LNR: NASIONALE ELITE TOEKENNINGS HIER, DAAR EN ORALS Tydens die jaarlikse LNR Nasionale Elite Toekennings, het twee diere uit die Boranras toekennings ontvang. Die eerste toekenning het gegaan aan die Aan-hangsel B koei, CI 08/205B van mnr. Lambert Van Heerden, Numzaan Boranstoet. Hierdie negejarige koei het n Ouderdom Eerste Kalf van 27 maande, met n Tussen Kalf Periode van 352 dae wat gehandhaaf is oor 7 kalwers. Hierdie koei het n Reproduksie Indeks van 119 en n Gemiddelde Speen Indeks van 107. Van die groep wat geselekteer is, het hierdie koei tesame met die Sussex koei, die 2de beste Tussen Kalf Periode en Reproduksie Indeks gehad. Tydens die Nasionale Spesiale Prestasie toetsklas, het die bul FPL 16/03 (De La Hoya) van mnr. Zippo Lambrecht, Bloodline Borane, die toekenning ontvang. Dit is n eerste vir die Boranras in hierdie kategorie. Die bul het n silwer meriete ontvang vir die fase C toets by Glen en was ook die enigste bul wat in 2016 n meriete ontvang het. Mnr. Eloff Muller, Senior Inspekteur, het die volgende omtrent die bul gesê: Korrekte bul met besonderse goeie beenstruktuur, wat n aanduiding is dat die bul baie vleis kan dra. n Bul wat die regte kalwers sal teel vir die kommersiële boer wat betref vervangingsverse, sowel as vir die voerkraal. Baie geluk aan beide telers met hierdie uitsonderlike prestasies wat behaal is. 12

Gold The Wrapping Paper An Inspirational Short Christmas Story Once upon a time, there was a man who worked very hard just to keep food on the table for his family. This particular year a few days before Christmas, he punished his little five-year-old daughter after learning that she had used up the family s only roll of expensive gold wrapping paper. As money was tight, he became even more upset when on Christmas Eve he saw that the child had used all of the expensive gold paper to decorate one shoebox she had put under the Christmas tree. He also was concerned about where she had gotten money to buy what was in the shoebox. Nevertheless, the next morning the little girl, filled with excitement, brought the gift box to her father and said, This is for you, Daddy! As he opened the box, the father was embarrassed by his earlier overreaction, now regretting how he had punished her. But when he opened the shoebox, he found it was empty and again his anger flared. Don t you know, young lady, he said harshly, when you give someone a present, there s supposed to be something inside the package! The little girl looked up at him with sad tears rolling from her eyes and whispered: Daddy, it s not empty. I blew kisses into it until it was all full. The father was crushed. He fell on his knees and put his arms around his precious little girl. He begged her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger. An accident took the life of the child only a short time later. It is told that the father kept this little gold box by his bed for all the years of his life. Whenever he was discouraged or faced difficult problems, he would open the box, take out an imaginary kiss, and remember the love of this beautiful child who had put it there. In a very real sense, each of us has been given an invisible golden box filled with unconditional love and kisses from our children, family, friends and God. There is no more precious possession anyone could hold. BORAN NEWSLETTER / NUUSBRIEF 19
