Mohair Farmers Going From Strength To Strength
Stockfarm
|May 2020
In March this year the Wienand family of Olivewoods Farm near Cookhouse in the Eastern Cape, donated 20 young Angora rams to partners of the Mohair Empowerment Trust.
The driving force behind the trust is Beauty Mokgwamme, who is currently supervising ten projects in the Eastern Cape.
Relaying the trust’s thanks, she spoke to Stockfarm about the event at Olivewoods and the great partnership and relationship the trust is building with the Wienand family. “I am happy and excited to be part of this wonderful industry, and we really appreciate the generous offer the Wienand family has made to help our emerging farmers.”
During the handover ten Mohair Empowerment Trust partners (farms) received two Angora rams each. The current partners are:
• Mzwakhe Ndlela: Eureka (Adelaide).
• George Saleni: Brakfontein (Cookhouse).
• Linda and Simphiwe Fani: Doornrivier (Somerset East).
• Lloyd James: Driefontein (Somerset East).

Feedlot finishing phases and tips
Fattening cattle is an important way for producers to add value to their calf crop. However, before deciding to finish cattle, producers should carefully evaluate market conditions and feed costs, as these factors influence the profitability of the operation. This is particularly important for producers who consider this a seasonal activity rather than a permanent component of the farming operation.
