The Beefmaster Cattle Breeders’ Society of South Africa (Beefmaster SA) held its annual tour of Beefmaster breeders from 9 to 12 March 2020. This year’s event took place in Mpumalanga, and the tour group stayed at the Henbase Lodge near Morgenzon for three nights. The attendees comprised 37 breeders from across the country.
On 9 March, the group assembled at the council meeting and departed the following day for Sizana Beefmasters, owned by Ignus van Niekerk, near Amersfoort.
Following this visit, the group drove to Delta Beefmasters, owned by Stefan du Plessis, near Standerton. After lunch, the group visited Johan Pretorius of Milestone Beefmasters, also near Standerton, and thereafter returned to the Henbase Lodge to discuss the day’s outings.
