With the year in full swing and despite being in the midst of one of the worst droughts in extended parts of Southern Africa, it is encouraging to see how well Brahmans still perform and how Breeders morally support and assist each other. My sincere thanks to all who have rendered assistance in so many ways. I also want to thank our Heavenly Father for good rain that has already occurred in some parts of the country and trust that relief will befall the remaining areas for the rest of the year.

The Council has set several dynamic programmes in motion during the past year with the sole objective to improve our breed through the implementation of promotional activities, participation in different genetic projects, training of Breeders and the ongoing advancement of our Breed abroad.

We will continue to ensure that these actions are successfully managed and implemented over the next number of years. The objective of this comprehensive newsletter is to bring you a synopsis of the different actions and should be read as a working document and terms of reference.

The purpose of this introductory message is not to cover all activities comprehensively but solely to draw your attention to some of the most important activities.

Sponsors

We have the full support of our esteemed Sponsors by name: BKB, Cape Gate, FNB, Hollard and Voermol. Their financial contribution is highly valued. Kindly acknowledge them by support and involvement in the different actions.

Supplement

Edition 2 and 3 will be published and distributed during 2016 to approximately 100 000 potential clients per supplement. Kindly support this dynamic project by placing at least a quarter page advertisement and by assisting with the distribution of the editions in your region.

Die jaar het in volle vaart afgeskop, en te midde van een van die ergste droogtes wat oor groot gedeeltes van ons land voorkom is dit bemoedigend om te sien hoe ons Brahmane presteer en hoe ons Telers mekaar ondersteun, bystaan en aanmoedig. Ek wil graag my opregte dank teenoor een en almal uitspreek wat op soveel maniere ondersteun. Ek wil ook ons Hemelse Vader bedank vir die reën wat reeds in sekere dele van die land voorgekom het en ons vertrou dat uitkoms naby is vir ons almal vir die res van die jaar.

Die afgelope jaar het die Raad verskeie dinamiese aksies in werking gestel met die uitsluitlike doel om ons ras te bevorder deur middel van die implementering van promosie-aksies, deelname aan verskeie genetiese projekte, opleiding van ons telers en die voortsetting van die bevordering van ons ras na die buiteland.

Hierdie aksies sal ook doelgerig en deurlopend voortgesit word in die volgende aantal jare om die suksesvolle implementering daarvan te verseker. Hierdie omvattende nuusbrief is ‘n samevatting van die onderskeie aksies en moet dien as ‘n werkende dokument en verwysingsraamwerk.

Die doel van hierdie inleidende boodskap is nie om ten volle verslag te doen van elke aktiwiteit nie maar slegs om enkele van die belangrikste aksies onder u aandag te bring.

Borge

Ons borge by name: BKB, Cape Gate, FNB, Hollard en Voermol ondersteun ons ten volle vir die volgende 4 jaar. Hulle bydrae is van groot waarde en ons versoek almal om kennis te neem en hulle te ondersteun en te betrek by onderskeie aksies

Bylaag

Uitgawe 2 en 3 word gepubliseer en versprei gedurende 2016 na 100 000 potensiële kliënte per bylaag. Ondersteun die projek deur ten minste ‘n kwart bladsy advertensie te neem en betrokke te wees met die verspreiding van uitgawes in jou gebied

Thys Meyer wat instrumenteel is tot die implementering van die genomiese program in Suid-Afrika is ook afgevaardig deur die LRF om die kongres by te woon en sal insette lewer by die forum vergadering.

Veertig Australianers het die Wêreldkongres 2014 in Suid-Afrika bygewoon. Ons doen ‘n beroep op ons telers om, indien enigsins moontlik, ons te vergesel na Australië.

Brahman Expo

Die Brahman Expo vind plaas by Parys van 5-8 Oktober. Bevestig so gou moontlik jou beplande inskrywing vir die Nasionale veiling met Stephan Coetzee of Andries Marx.

Ter afsluiting

Die toekoms is nie aan ons bekend nie maar almal in die landbou omgewing besef dat die komende jaar vele uitdagings sal oplewer wat insig, doelgerigtheid en positiwiteit van een-en-elk sal verg. As President wil ek u verseker van die Raad se toewyding en entoesiasme en ons beste wense vir die 2016. Ons sien uit na u deelname aan die onderskeie projekte en versoek u om myself of enige raadslid te kontak oor enige onsekerheid.

Beste groete

“B” Brand

The “B” Brand has been approved and will be implemented with immediate effect. Further information on the application is detailed below under “Training” and a promotional programme for the brand will soon follow.

BGP

World Congress 2016

The President and Wayne Porter will represent South Africa at the World Congress in Australia during May 2016. The President will do a presentation on Brahmans in Southern Africa and they will also attend the World Brahman Breed Improvement Forum meeting. The organizers have invited Dr Michael Bradfield to deliver a paper on “Opportunities for a benefit from international collaboration in genetic evaluation and genomics” at the congress. Mr. Thys Meyer, who is instrumental in the implementation of the genomic programme in South Africa, has also been invited and will give input at the forum meeting.

Forty Australians attended the 2014 World Congress in South Africa. We appeal to all South Africans to, if at all possible, accompany us to their World Congress.

Brahman Expo

The Brahman Expo will be taking place from 5-8 October at Parys. Kindly confirm your intended entries for the National Auction with Stephan Coetzee or Andries Marx.

In Conclusion

The future might be unknown to us, all involved in the agricultural environment are aware of many challenges to address that will require dedication and commitment. As President I want to ensure you of the Council’s support and enthusiasm, our best wishes for 2016. We are looking forward to your participation in the different projects. You are welcome to contact me or any council member if there are any uncertainties.

Brahman Greetings

Graag wil ons u as telers inlig oor die beplande promosie-aksies vir 2016. Ons het reeds in die joernaal van Nov 2015 breedvoerige verduideliking gegee t.o.v al die nuwe beplande promosie-aksies.

Dit is vir ons belangrik dat u as teler behoorlik ingelig is oor sodanige aksies en ons doen ‘n beroep op u om die promosie-aksies vir 2016 te ondersteun om die Brahman “brand” te help bemark.

DIE BYLAAG

Baie dankie vir die positiewe gesindheid waarmee u die nuwe Brahman-visie verwelkom het.

Brahman Wêreldkongres• Dr Heather Burrows

Met die droogte nog vars in die geheue wil ons die voordele van Brahman optimaal benut en verkondig. Daarby saam kry ons al meer vrae uit Afrika en het ons ‘n Afrika forum gevestig waardeur ons Brahmane aggressief in Afrika wil bemark en dus gaan ons hier ook fokus oor hoe Brahmane van in die woestyn tot trope kan aard en aanpas.

Die waarde van die inhoud sal onderskraag word deur wetenskaplike navorsing deur van die land se voorste kenners, wat die onmisbare rol van die Brahman in beesvleisproduksie sonder twyfel sal bewys, asook indiepte produksie-analises van ons voorste stoet-, kommersiële-, en kruistelers. Met ons vrugbare, hoogs aangepaste en langslewende diere, wat agt beesrasse tot gevolg gehad het, het ons een van die beste stories in landbou om te vertel. Kom ons praat dus met ál die beesboere in Suider Afrika, asook die jeug en nuwe toetreders wat nog droom oor beesboerdery en beesvleisproduksie.

Die bylae sal ingevoeg word in Landbouweekblad, Farmer’s Weekly, Veeplaas en Stockfarm. Ons onderhandel tans ook met Farmers Magazine in Botswana en die bylaes is ook by die Departement van Landbou se kantore beskikbaar sowel as in Koöperasies. Dit sal ook volle drukoplaag geniet in hierdie tydskrifte en sal dus nasionaal in Suider Afrika versprei word, waaronder lande soos Namibië, Zimbabwe, Mosambiek en Botswana. Daar gaan ook ekstra eksemplare van die bylae gedruk word, wat die Brahman Genootskap sal versprei tydens skoue, boeredae, veilings en opleidingsgeleenthede. Daar word een honderd duisend bylaes in totaal gedruk waarvan sestig duisend in Afrikaans en veertig

Brahman World conference• Dr Heather Burrows

In this time of drought we want to share the message about the many advantages of the Brahman breed - especially its ability to thrive in challenging circumstances. In addition, we have been inundated with queries from other African countries and have therefore decided to establish an Africa forum with the aim of aggressively marketing Brahman in Africa with the focus on how Brahman is able to adapt and thrive in all areas from the desert to the tropics.

The value of the publication’s content will be supported by scientific research contributed by the country’s leading experts, which will prove the indispensable role of the Brahman in beef production as well as provide in-depth production analysis of our premier stud, commercial and cross breeders. With our fertile, highly adaptable and long-lived animals, which resulted in eight breeds, we have one of the best stories to tell in agriculture. So let’s talk to all the ranchers in Southern Africa, as well as the youth and new entrants who are still aspiring to a career in cattle farming and beef production.

The Brahman supplement will be inserted in Farmer’s Weekly, Landbouweekblad, Veeplaas and Stockfarm. We are in the process of negotiating with Farmers Magazine in Botswana and the supplement will be made available at Department of Agriculture offices nationwide and at various cooperatives. The publication will have a full print run in these magazines, thus benefitting from national and regional distribution, including countries such as Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and Botswana. There will also be extra copies printed, which will be distributed by the Brahman Society at fairs, farmers’ days, auctions and training events. The print run will amount to 100 000

JOERNAAL

Weens die beplande aksies met die bylaes waar ons deur bylaes wye verspreiding gaan kry en die nodige bemarkingsboodskap gaan uitdra, het ons besluit om die joernale - wat net aan telers versprei word – te beperk tot 2 volledige joernale en een nuusbrief per jaar.

Maart nuusbrief

Daar word ‘n nuusbrief (hierdie uitgawe) saamgestel wat Maart aan telers gepos gaan word. Die doel van die nuusbrief is om telers in te lig oor al die beplande aktiwiteite vir die jaar. Ons gee telers ook die geleentheid om in die nuusbrief hulle veilings en kuddes te adverteer. Ons wil dit duidelik stel dat dit wel ‘n NUUSBRIEF en NIE ‘n afgewaterde joernaal is nie.

Junie Joernaal

Ons beplan om gedurende Junie/Julie ‘n joernaal – soos ons hom ken – uit te gee waarin ons gaan fokus op kuddebulle (herd sires). Ons wil graag aan ons telers die geleentheid gee om hulle kuddevaars aan mede-telers bekend te stel deur middel van advertensies in die uitgawe. Ons stel u dus betyds

JOURNAL

On account of the widespread exposure that will be obtained from the various supplements we have agreed to limit our journals, which are only distributed to members, to two with one newsletter per annum.

March newsletter

A newsletter will be posted to members during March, the main purpose being that of conveying information in regard to all the various activities for the year. Members will also be afforded the opportunity to advertise their herds and sales. Please note that this is a NEWSLETTER and not a watered down journal.

June Journal

We plan on issuing a journal, as we know it, during June\July which will mainly focus on herd sires. Once more we wish to afford members the opportunity of introducing their herd sires to fellow breeders by virtue

11>>in kennis om u advertensiemateriaal en inligting reg te kry vir die uitgawe. Sperdatum 26 April 2016. Gedurende die uitgawe gaan ons ook fokus op die belangrikheid van ‘n goeie kuddevaar.

Desember Joernaal

Dit sal weer ‘n terugvoerjoernaal wees waarin ons terugvoer sal gee oor die afgelope jaar se aktiwiteite, soos veilingsresultate, skou-uitslae ens. Ons doelwit is om dan hiermee weer ‘n mooi duursame, soos in die verlede joernaal uit te gee. Ons beplanning is ook om telers die geleentheid te gee om ekstra joernale vir hulle eie rekening te bestel om vir kliënte te gee. Die sperdatum vir hierdie joernaal vir u advertensie en inligting is 27 September 2016.

of advertisements in this journal. Please therefore be advised well ahead of time to prepare your advertising material and information for this edition. Cut off date will be 26 April 2016. The importance of a good herd sire will feature very prominently in this edition.

December journal

As in the past, this journal will in essence again focus on feedback in respect of activities of the past year with sale and show results etc. This will be a high quality and handsome publication once again with the aim that members will buy additional copies to be distributed to their clients. Cut off date for this journal is 27 September 2016.

VisualMarketingRoadsigns

You might have noticed very prominent Brahman boards along some of the main high ways. We have however agreed not to continue with this project due to various problems being experienced. The existing boards will remain for as long as it is feasable whereafter it will be removed.

Other boards

We appeal to clubs to erect advertising boards in strategic spots at show grounds and at sale venues. It is left to the clubs to execute this initiate for their own account and at their discretion. The boards must however be approved by the Promotions Committee in order to ensure that it conforms to the planned marketing and promotions strategy.

Decals

Very neat decals are for sale at the office. We appeal to members to use these decals to give as much exposure as possible to the Brahman brand.

Round decal (BAK1) = R70 Rectangular decal (BAK4) = R40

Padborde

Soos u seker waargeneem het, het ons op verskeie plekke langs van ons hoofweë Brahman padborde met verskillende temas. Weens verskeie probleme met die oprigting van die borde het ons eers die projek gestaak. Ons sal die bestaande borde so laat en hulle verwyder indien hulle nie meer op standaard is nie

Ander Borde

Ons doen ‘n beroep op die klubs om advertensieborde op strategiese plekke, soos skougronde en veilingskomplekse te plaas. Ons laat dit aan die klubs oor om sodanige borde te plaas vir hulle eie rekening. Sodanige borde moet deur die Promosiekomitee goedgekeur word voordat dit gemaak en geplaas word. Ons moet seker maak dat die borde in lyn met ons beplande bemarking- en promosie strategie is.

Bakkieplakkers

Ons het baie netjiese bakkieplakkers ontwerp wat by die kantoor te koop is. Ons doen ‘n beroep op telers om hiervan gebruik te maak sodat ons die Brahman “brand” kan uitdra op enige denkbare manier.

Ronde bakkieplakker (BAK1) = R70 Reghoekige bakkieplakker (BAK2) = R40

KLEREREEKS

Die klerereeks van die Genootskap is aangepas om in lyn te wees met die nuwe logo en beeldbou aksie waarmee die genootskap verlede jaar mee begin het.

Ons het besluit om die klerereeks nie weer te groot te maak nie, maar om eerder meer gereeld iets nuuts op die rak te plaas. Die volledige reeks sal te koop wees tydens NAMPO.

Die huidige reekse behels die volgende:

Mansreeks

‘n Olyfkleur “fleece lined bush vest” met veeldoelige sakke wat deur dames en mans gedra kan word, is in S tot 5XL beskikbaar.

Ons het ook ‘n gebreide “navy pull over” aangekoop en die groottes is S tot 4XL.

“Two Tone” hemp “stone/military green stone” is in groottes S tot 4XL beskikbaar.

Daar is ook nog 3 ander kortmouhemde (Serengeti en Zambesi) wat verseker ‘n wenner gaan wees, die hemde het twee sakke en is verskillend geborduur. Die een met die “signature logo” Brahman en die ander met die Brahman logo om in elkeen se smaak te val. Beskikbaar in groottes S tot 4XL.

Twee netjiese langmou manshemde (President) is ook beskikbaar. Ligblou met wit strepies in S,M, L en 3XL en die “charcoal” met wit strepies in groottes S, L, XL tot 4XL. Daar is ook in die beplanning ‘n netjiese kortmou hemp wat by die reeks sal aanpas.

Gewilde “buckles” is beskikbaar in silwer of koper @ R150 elk.

Damesreeks

Na vele versoeke van die dames het ons gehoor gegee en ‘n pienk driekwarthempie aangekoop met die “signature logo” Brahman daarop geborduur in maroon. Dit is beskikbaar in groottes S tot 4XL. Ons het ook ‘n langmou olyfkleurige hemp (Flycatcher) aangekoop met Brahman geborduur en is ook

CLOTHING RANGE

The Society’s clothing range has been brought in line with the new logo and vision which was adopted last year. We agreed to stock a limited range instead of a very large one and to rather put something new on the shelves every now and then. The entire range will be available at NAMPO.

The present range consists of the following:

Men

An olive green fleece lined bush vest with multi purpose pockets, suitable for both male and female and which is available from size S to 5XL.

A knitted navy pull over available in sizes S to 4XL.

Two tone shirt embroidered with the Brahman logo stone/military green stone also available in sizes S to 4XL.

Three other styles of short sleeve shirts (Serengeti and Zambezi) which will definitely be very popular – it has two pockets with different embroidery – one with the signature logo Brahman and the other with the Brahman logo to satisfy different tastes. These shirts are available in sizes S to 4 XL.

We also stock two very neat long sleeve shirts (President) with the logo of the Brahman signature in light blue with thin white stripes in sizes S,M, L and 3XL and charcoal with thin white stripes in S, L, XL to 4XL. A neat short sleeve shirt to compliment this range will also in due course be available.

Popular buckles are available in silver and brass @ R150 each.

Ladies

We listened to the ladies and now have available a pink three quarter shirt with maroon embroidery in sizes S to 4XL. We also have a long sleeve olive shirt (Flycatcher) with Brahman embroidered thereon available in S to 5XL. This shirt goes well with the olive fleece lined bush vest.

Keyring

Key rings for sale @ R45 each

Sleutelhouer

Netjiese sleutelhouers is ook beskikbaar teen R45 per sleutelhouer.

beskikbaar in groottes S tot 5XL. Hierdie hemp pas en komplimenteer dan ook die olyfkleur “fleece lined bush vest”.

Kinderreeks

Ons is in die proses om oorpakkies vir kinders 2 tot 8 jaar met die camo kleure wat op die oomblik baie gewild is te laat maak.

‘n “Two-tone” unisex hempie is ook bestel vir ouderdomme 2 – 12 jaar.

Touleiersklere

Die nuwe skouklere sal by alle skoue in die land baie streng toegepas word om eenvormigheid te bewerkstellig. Ons voel dat die nuwe skoudrag ‘n verbetering is op die vorige Groen en Goud reeks, waarvan denims met verskillende blou-kleurskakerings deel uitgemaak het. Dit was slordig en het afbreuk gedoen aan ons telers en die beeste wat ons in die skouring vertoon het. Die nuwe reeks is vars, met ‘n skoon voorkoms. Dit beeld ook baie prominent ons borge op die agterkant van die hemde uit wat oor die volgende vier jaar die pad met die Brahman, sy Genootskap en telers gaan stap. Verder vertoon dit ook ons nuwe logo op die linker mou. Ons is almal baie trots op die nuwe skoureeks en wil diegene wat betrokke was by die ontwikkeling daarvan, hartlik bedank.

Die nuwe klerereeks wat alreeds beskikbaar is word vir u gerief by die nuusbrief ingesluit en vir bestellings kan u met Karin skakel by 051 446 4619 of e-pos u bestelling na [email protected]. Sy sal u graag van hulp wees. Kom kyk by NAMPO na die res van die klerereeks.

U ondersteuning in die aankoop van die onderskeie items sal baie waardeer word. Dit is u manier om te help om die Brahmanras te promoveer.

TELERSBAADJIES MET NUWE LOGO (Blazer)

Ons het die afgelope maand ‘n inligtingstuk aan telers gestuur in die verband en ons versoek telers om vir hulle baadjies aan te skaf wat dan gedra kan word om ook die ras hierdeur te promoveer en te bevorder. Die inligtingstuk is beskikbaar op die web www.brahman.co.za.

BANIERE

Ons as Genootskap het belê in nuwe baniere, uithangbaniere (flying banners), vlaggies en ‘n gazebo. Die items met die nuwe logo op is reeds aangeskaf en in gebruik. Dit is beskikbaar by die kantoor vir die gebruik tydens boeredae, skoue en veilings. Dit kan by Karin bespreek word, maar sal self deur die klubs afgehaal en terugbesorg word, aangesien die koste vir die versending per koerier te hoog is. Dit sal ook goed wees indien die streke en klubs vir hulleself hierin belê sodat ons seker maak ons visuele “branding” is voldoende tydens skoue, boeredae, veilings, opleidingsdae ens. Inligting by Karin beskikbaar indien klubs belang

sou stel om eie materiaal aan te koop.

Children

We are in the process of having overalls made for kids 2 to 8 years in camo colours which is very popular at the moment.

A two-tone unisex shirt is ordered and will also be available later for ages 2 – 12 years.

Handlers Clothes

For the sake of uniformity we are henceforth going to be rather strict as regards show attire. We are convinced that the new range is an improvement on the old show attire which looked somewhat unneat and did not compliment our cattle in the ring. The new range is fresh and clean looking and very prominently displays our sponsors for the next four years on the back of the shirts. It also displays our new logo on the left sleeve. We are indeed very proud of the new range and wish to thank those responsible for the designing thereof.

Details of the new clothing range is included in the newsletter for your convenience and please contact Karin on 051 446 4619 or email your order to [email protected]. She would be glad to assist. Come and take a look at NAMPO for the rest of the new clothing.

Your support would be greatly appreciated – you may regard it as your contribution to the promotion of the Brahman breed.

BLAZERS WITH NEW LOGO (Blazer)

We refer you to the information document circularised this past month and members are requested to acquire these blazers and wear it also as a means of promoting our breed. The information document is available on the web www.brahman.co.za.

BANNERS

The Society has invested in new banners, flying banners, string flags and a gazebo. These items with the new logo are already in use and available for members to use at farmers days, shows and sales. You may book it with Karin for collection and return as courier costs have sky rocketed. It would be a good thing for the clubs to also invest in these items in order to project a uniform image at shows, farmers days, sales and training events. Information is available from Karin, should clubs be interested in purchasing their own stock.

15>>VETVEESKOUE EN KARKASKOMPETISIES

Ons was in die verlede by verskeie Vetveeskoue en Karkaskompetisies betrokke, maar ons het besluit om die deelnames by die geleenthede meer georden te doen deur ‘n duidelike stel reëls daar te stel. Aangesien ons in die vleisbedryf is, is deelname hieraan ook vir ons baie belangrik en moet ons ook die aksies ondersteun en promoveer.

Reëls:

• Klubs moet ‘n skriftelike aansoek aan die Raad rig om die nodige ondersteuning vanaf die genootskap te ontvang. Aansoek moet deur die Raad goedgekeur word en sal dan ook so aan die klubs bevestig word.

• Daar sal ten alle tye voldoen moet word aan die Samic reëls.

• Verantwoordelike persone sal die streek-verteenwoordiger op hoogte hou van die aksies, datums en besluite.

• Die Raad wil bevestiging hê dat daar die nodige media blootstelling gaan wees.

Vetveeskoue / Op-die-hoef beoordeling

Die Genootskap sal aan die klub/skou wat deelneem 6 Brahman pette voorsien wat dan volgens die oordeel van die reëlingskomitee aan deelnemers oorhandig word.

Karkasbeoordeling

• Indien die wenners in die hele kompetisie as ‘n Brahman of Brahmankruis ingeskryf is sal die Genootskap die volgende as prysgeld toeken. Wenner R2500. Wenner Groep van 4 ook as Brahman of Brahmankruis R2500.

• Indien wenner in die nasionale kompetisie as ‘n Brahman of Brahmankruis ingeskryf is, sal die nasionale wenner prysgeld van R10 000 ontvang vanaf die Genootskap.

• Indien wenner in die nasionale kompetisie as ‘n reserwe Brahman of Brahmankruis is, sal die nasionale wenner prysgeld van R5 000 ontvang vanaf die Genootskap.

BOEREDAE

Ons wil die klubs en streke motiveer om soveel as moontlik boeredae te hou om die ras te promoveer. Boeredae is belangrik om ons ras bekend te stel aan nie-telers en kommersiële boere. Hierdie skep ook ‘n geleentheid vir die klubs en hulle lede om hulleself en hulle kuddes te adverteer vir besigheid.

Boeredae reeds op die Brahman kalender.

OPKOMENDE BOERE

Ons kom agter dat opkomende boere ‘n groot behoefte het aan opleiding en inligting en dat daar ‘n groot leemte bestaan wat ons as Genootskap die geleentheid gee om die nodige bemarking vir ons ras te doen. Indien ons nie hier pro-aktief gaan wees nie, gaan ander rasse die geleentheid gebruik. Die klubs en streke moet asb nie hierdie GROOT bemarkingsgeleentheid mis nie. Ons doen ‘n beroep op julle om voort te gaan om sodanige inligtings/boeredae te reël.

FAT STOCK SHOWS AND CARCASS COMPETITIONS

Although in the past the Society was actively involved in various fat stock shows and carcass competitions we have agreed to in future do it in a more organised manner and to draw up a clear set of rules in this regard. Participation at these events is naturally important for us and we do need to support it.

Rules:

• Clubs must apply to Council in writing for financial support which application must be approved by Council whereafter such approval will be conveyed to the relevant club.

• SAMIC rules must always be conformed to.• Responsible persons will keep regional

representatives informed as regards actions, dates and decisions.

• Council will request confirmation as regards media exposure.

Fat stock shows \ Judging on the hoof

The Society will donate 6 Brahman caps to the participating club\show which should be presented at the discretion of the Organising Committee.

Carcass judging

• If the winners of the overall competition were entered as a Brahman or Brahman cross the Society will award the following prize money. Winner R2500. Winner group of 4 also Brahman or Brahman cross R2500.

• If the winner in the national competition is a Brahman or Brahman cross the national winner will receive prize money of R10 000 from the Society.

• If the reserve winner in the national competition is a Brahman or Brahman cross the national winner will receive R5000 prize money from the Society.

FARMERS DAYS

Clubs and regions are encouraged to present as many as possible farmers days to promote the breed. The importance of these events is emphasized to stimulate the interest of non breeders and commercial farmers. This is at the same time an opportunity for clubs and their members to advertise their studs.

Farmers Days already on the calendar.

EMERGING FARMERS

The need for the training of emerging farmers and conveying information to them has been identified which is the ideal opportunity for the Society to market the breed. We must act proactively in this regard before other breeds beat us to it and clubs and regions should take note of this marketing opportunity. We appeal to you to arrange such information\farmers days forthwith.

WEBSITE www.brahman

Our website has had a facelift to make it more modern and user friendly. Electronic marketing and promotion are the future and the website www.brahman is going to be used aggresively to stimulate and motivate potential breeders and Brahman buyers to visit our website. We wish to take the lead here as well.

You may use the logo together with your advert but it may not form part of your personal logo. The set of rules for the use of the logo is available.

RAND

AProgram:

Ek nooi al die telers om hulle spogdiere in te skryf vir die Jakaranda skou. Daar is heelwat nuwe gebeure wat gaan plaasvind en met die skou wat elke jaar uitbrei kan jy dit nie misloop om deel daaraan te hê nie. Met die tentoonstellings tydens die skou probeer die organiseerders werklik om aan die boer se behoeftes te voorsien, dit aan te vul en jaarliks te verbeter.

Die Afrikaner Telersgenootskap bied ‘n EXPO tydens die skou aan. Verder is daar verskeie sprekers vanoor die wêreld wat sal optree. Die Brahmanras voldoen alreeds aan meeste van die onderwerpe wat bespreek gaan word. Weereens ‘n geleentheid om ons unieke ras te bemark.

Met verblyf en die verkeer wat ‘n probleem is sal die organiseerders vir ons ‘n spasie op die terrein verskaf waar ons heerlik en veilig kan kamp met tent of karavaan met skoon en netjiese ablusieblokke.

Skryf asseblief jou diere in aangesien die Brahmane in 2015 die meeste diere vertoon het en dit maak ons bemarkingsfondasie soveel groter en beter. Met duisende voete wat daar beweeg is dit ‘n geleentheid wat jy ten volle moet benut. Kom wees deel van die Brahmanfamilie by die Jakaranda Skou en vertoon met trots jou spogdiere.

I invite all members to enter their best for the Jacaranda show. Many new items will feature at this year’s show and as this show is becoming larger every year, you just cannot miss being part thereof. The organisers of this show do their utmost to accommodate the farmer and his animals and to improve facilities every year.

The Afrikaner Breeders’ Society will be presenting an EXPO where speakers from across the world will officiate covering a variety of subjects. The Brahman breed already answers to most of the subjects to be discussed and this once more presents an opportunity right on our doorstep for us to promote and market our unique breed.

Accommodation and traffic is somewhat of a headache at this show and we have been allocated space where we can camp in tents or caravans with clean ablution facilities close by.

Please enter you animals for this show – in 2015 Brahman entries were the most numerous which improves and enlarges our marketing foundation. Thousands of feet, that of upcoming farmers, interested people and potential new members move about at this show and this is therefore an opportunity which you cannot miss. Come and be part of the Brahman family at the Jacaranda Show – come brag with your show animals.

Jakarandaskou/show, PretoriaMaak ‘n inskrywing in jou dagboek vir die Jakaranda Skou wat plaasvind 24-28 Augustus 2016.

Bepaling van ouderdom 1 Augustus 2016. Die skouklasse is beskikbaar op die web.

Please note the dates of the Jacaranda Show in your diary ie 24-28 August 2016.

Cut off date for ages is 1 August 2016 and show classes are available on the web.

Expo

Program:

Die Brahman Expo 2015 te Parys was die eerste aanbieding en het die verwagtinge ver oorskrei. Die diere wat vertoon was, was van uitstaande gehalte met of sonder halters. Ons strewe is dat daar meer nie-haltermak diere tydens 2016 vertoon sal word aangesien die ‘n geleentheid is vir telers wat nie diere kan mak maak nie, ook te vertoon in die vorm van ‘n skou.

Ons gedagte met die Expo is, om verskeie aktiwiteite binne een week in te pas om ons telers die geleentheid te gee om interaktief met mekaar te kan verkeer, diere te vertoon en gedagtes en planne te ruil.

Ons bied onder andere aan:

- Brahman Expo - Parys Skou- Die Nasionale Veiling- Die Presidentsdinee- Kursusse- Kuier geleentheid

Jou afspraak met die Brahman Expo - Parys is die week van 3 Oktober 2016. Onthou om dit aan te teken. Die skouklasse is beskikbaar op die web. Bepaling van ouderdom is 1 September 2016.

The 2015 Brahman Expo at Parys was a first which was welcomed and enjoyed by all. Superb animals were shown with and without halters and it is my aim that more non halter trained animals be shown as it provides the opportunity to breeders that cannot tame their animals to also be part of the show. A non-halter trained animal gets the opportunity to show its full potential and to market itself.

Our idea with the EXPO is to fit into one week a number of activities in order to give breeders the opportunity to interact with each other, to show their cattle and to exchange ideas and plans.

The following events will be presented by the Society:

- Brahman Expo - Parys Show- The National Sale- The President’s dinner- Courses- Get Together

Your date with Brahman Expo, Parys is the week of 3 October 2016. Note it in your diary please and make it a family outing. Show classes are available on the web. Cut off date for ages is 1 September 2016.

nasionale veilingNational saleDie Nasionale Veiling vind vanjaar op 8 Oktober 2016 plaas. Dit is ‘n ongelooflike platform om ons teeldiere te bemark en te adverteer. Daarom moet dit uitstaande, kwaliteit diere wees wat aangebied word want hulle is ‘n advertensievenster van die teler en moet jy nou al jou pragtige diere uitsoek en voorberei vir die veiling.

Die sukses van die Nasionale Veiling hang af van die kwaliteit van ons diere wat aangebied word daarom is dit goed om die room aan te bied en sodoende pluk jy die vrugte van jou harde werk.

Dit is in die beplanning om ook jong verse ongedek aan te bied. Dit sal verse van uitstaande gehalte wees om die sukses te bepaal. Vroeg in die jaar moet die verse reeds geïdentifiseer en gekeur word. Indien jy graag deel van die projek wil wees skakel gerus vir my, Stephan Coetzee 083 384 3675 of Andries Marx 082 859 5896 sodat jou pragtige dier gekeur kan word.

Nog ‘n voordeel is dat die veilingsdiere deel moet neem aan die haltermak en nie-haltermak skou van die Beef Expo. As die diere goed presteer en plekke staan sal daar ‘n premie op hulle wees tydens die veiling.

Ek hoop u is so entoesiasties en opgewonde oor die jaar se Nasionale Veiling soos ek veral met die vooruitsigte van kwaliteit diere en goeie pryse.

- Stephan Coetzee

The National Sale will be presented on 8 October 2016. This platform is just ideal for the promotion and marketing of our animals. The quality of animals to be presented must therefore be superb as they will be regarded as representative of the breed and your personal stud. Selection and preparation should therefore commence as soon as possible.

The quality of animals on offer largely determines the success of our National sale and the cream of the crop should therefore be on show which will also let you reap the fruit of your labour.

We are planning on also having outstanding open heifers on offer - these heifers must be identified early in the year and must also be inspected. Please contact Stephan Coetzee on 073 384 3675 or Andries Marx 082 859 5896 if you want to participate in this project in order for your animals to be inspected.

Another plus is that these animals must partici-pate in both the halter tame and non halter tame show of the Beef Expo. If the animals are placed a premium will be placed on them at the sale.

I do trust that you share my enthusiasm for this years’ national sale - current prices and predictions are good.

BREED IMPROVEMENT | RASVERBETERING

BEEF GENOMICS – PROGRAMbgp

The BGP is open to all beef breeds in the RSA.

South Africa and Namibia jointly participated in the first phase in 2015. The program started in June and the following animals were evaluated during the period June 2015 – January 2016.

72 young bulls were subjected to:

- RFI – Residual feed intake. - This test is different from the old Phase C test as

regards the processing of the feed intake results as well as the period of growth, 28 days adaptation and 84 days test.

- Complete body measurements and scanning were done on all bulls.

- 36 bulls in the group were rounded off for another 65 days in a feedlot phase prior to being slaughtered.

Complete carcass evaluation is done on the group of 36 bulls.

Breeders participating:

1) Thys Meyer – 62) Sydney Hunt – 63) Jan Lamprecht – 64) Ting Braithwaite – 125) Wessel Hattingh – 6

The following are being evaluated

ABATTOIR TESTS

- Carcass mass- Slaughter percentage- Dressing percentage %

LABORATORY TESTS

- Eye muscle area- Colour of carcass- Loss during cooking process- Shear force- Fat on inside muscle

About 100 hair samples of the dams and sires of the RFI bulls were taken for determination of the genotypes.

Die BGP is oop vir alle Vleisbeesrasse in RSA om aan deel te neem.

Suid-Afrika en Namibië het gesamentlik deelgeneem aan die eerste fase vir 2015. In Junie het die program begin en in die tydperk Junie 2015 tot Januarie 2016 is die volgende diere ge-evalueer.

72 Jong bulle is onderwerp aan:

- RFI – voerinname toets (Residual feed intake). - Die toets verskil van die ou bekende fase C toets,

wat betref die verwerking van die voer-iname resultate, asook die tydperk van groei, 28 dae aanpassing, 84-dae toets.

- Volledige liggaamsmates en skandering is gedoen op alle bulle.

- Vanuit die groep is 36 bulle vir ‘n verdere tydperk ±65 dae afgerond in ‘n voerkraalfase voordat hulle geslag is.

Volledige karkasevaluasie is op die groep van 36 bulle gedoen.

Deelnemende telers:1) Thys Meyer – 62) Sydney Hunt – 63) Jan Lamprecht – 64) Ting Braithwaite – 125) Wessel Hattingh – 6

Die volgende word ge-evalueer:

ABBATOIR TOETSE- Lewende massa- Karkas massa- Uitslag % persentasie

LABORATORIUM TOETSE- Oogspier oppervlakte- Kleur van karkas- Kook verlies- Sny weerstand (Shear force)- Binnespierse vet (IMF%)

Bykans 100 haarmonsters van moeders en vaders van die RFI bulle is ingesamel vir die bepaling van genotipes.

GENOMIESE PROJEK (NAVORSING)GENOMIC PROJECT (RESEARCH)

In conjunction with the University of Free State, Dr Linky is going to undertake a genomic study to determine the total genotypic variation within the South African Brahman population and to create more affordable genotyping processes.

The outcome of this research project will support the processing of data obtained from programs such as the BGP.

Various hair samples from a variety of herds have already been supplied by the relevant breeders. 300 Samples of young females from about 30 herds are required for this purpose. The semen of prominent sires is also being collected.

Dr Linky Makgahlela’s report which featured in the 2015 Journal formed the basis for the selection of bulls. The list represents the 1000 most prominent bulls and the aim is further to use bulls that vary genetically.

The structure of the reference population will be very important to determine the accuracy of genotypic selection and genotypically linked breeding values.

The data was analysed with Pedig Software. The most prominent animals are those with the highest marginal contribution; 886 409 records (RSA & Namibia) were obtained in total of which 73 371 were common. Animals were found in the pedigrees of both countries and six bulls were identified which represent the highest marginal contributions:

Dr Linky gaan in samewerking met die Universiteit van die Vrystaat ‘n Genomiese studie doen om die totale genotipiese variasie binne in die Suider Afrikaanse Brahman populasie te bepaal en ook om goedkoper genotiperingsprosesse te bewerkstellig.

Die uitkoms van die navorsingsprojek sal die verwerking van data, wat in die toekoms vanuit die programme soos die BGP verkry word, ondersteun.

Verskeie haarmonsters vanuit geneties verskillende kuddes is reeds deur telers verskaf. 300 Monsters van jong vroulike diere uit ± 30 kuddes word hiervoor benodig. Daar is ook begin om semen van invloedryke vaars te versamel.

Die verslag van Dr Linky Makgahlela, wat in die April Joernaal 2015 gepubliseer was, het gedien as basis waarvan die bulle geselekteer is. Die lys verteenwoordig die 1000 mees invloedryke bulle. Die doel is ook om bulle te gebruik wat geneties van mekaar verskil.

Die struktuur van die “verwysingspopulasie” gaan in die toekoms ‘n belangrike rol speel, om die akkuraatheid van genotipiese seleksie, asook genotipiese gekoppelde teelwaardes te verkry.

Die data is geanaliseer deur gebruik te maak van Pedig Software. Die mees invloedryke diere is dié met die hoogste marginale bydrae. In totaal is 886 409 rekords verkry (RSA & Namibië), 73 371 gemeenskaplike diere was in beide lande se stambome gevind. Daar is 6 bulle geïdentifiseer wat die hoogste marginale bydrae verteenwoordig naamlik:

- Dr Linky Makgahlela & Prof Norman Maiwashe

In 2016 is die uitdaging om al die deelnemers se volgende groepe bulle te koppel deur gebruik te maak van geselekteerde KI-bulle. Meer bulle in die volgende groep sal verwant wees, a.g.v. dieselfde vader wat gebruik gaan word.

Die Australiese bul FBC D MR ARNIE MANSO FBD620DM is geoormerk om koppeling tussen die Suid-Afrikaanse en die Namibiese kuddes te verkry.

Plaaslike geïdentifiseerde bulle sal koppeling tussen die RSA-kuddes verstewig, naamlik:

Wit Bulle:

HBS 09/36, JVZ 08/85, DVB 11/169

Rooi bulle:

JVZ 08-290 (Rooi), AMP 11-102 (Rooi)

Ons dank aan die genoemde telers wat betrokke by die projek is. Hulle bydrae sal in die toekoms daartoe lei dat beter, meer waardevolle, teelwaardes vir alle Brahmandiere in Suidelike Afrika bereken kan word.

The challenge for 2016 is to link the next bull groups of all participants. By using selected AI bulls more bulls in the next group will be related on account of the same sire being used.

The Australian bull FBC D MR ARNIE MANSO FBD620DM is earmarked to obtain linkage between the South African and Namibian herds.

Locally identified bulls will strengthen linkage in South African herds ie:

Grey bulls:

HBS 09/36, JVZ 08/85, DVB 11/169

Red bulls:

JVZ 08-290 (Red), AMP 11-102 (Red)

We thank those involved in the project. Their contributions will facilitate the calculation of more accurate breeding values for all Brahman animals in Southern Africa.

PRESTASIETOETSING PERFORMANCE TESTING

Soos per ons vorige brief, oorweeg asb die volgende dringende versoek.

Die Industrie is al geruime tyd besig om te beweeg na die benutting van genomiese inligting, en om kompeterend te bly, wil die Genootskap u almal versoek om te probeer om prestasie inligting in te stuur soos volgens die Breedplan Toetsplan.

Onthou dat selfs ‘n klein bietjie inligting steeds beter is as geen inligting, so al is dit slegs moontlik om speengewig te neem, is dit beter as om glad nie te weeg of meet nie. Ook belangrik, indien u nie ‘n skaal het nie, kan u steeds eienskappe meet soos Dae tot Kalwing, Temperament, Skrotum Omvang, Skede/Naelvel, ens., wat vir u waardevolle teelwaardes vir hierdie eienskappe sal gee.

Om die Ras se prestasie inligting op te dateer, wil ons u graag versoek om enige beskikbare historiese data na die kantoor te stuur, wat ons benodig om dit op te neem is ‘n weeg/meet datum, dier ID en gewig/meting.

Kontak asb die kantoor indien u verkies dat ons:

- Meer inligting stuur aangaande Prestasietoetsing- Weegvorms stuur wanneer u diere geweeg moet

word

Nuwe Lede - indien u wil begin met Prestasietoetsing, kontak asb die kantoor vir ‘n oorsig van die prosedures.

Indien u nie HerdMaster gebruik vir elektroniese indiening nie, sien www.brahman.co.za/Rasver-betering/Templates vir die Excel spreivelle vir indiening van gewigte & eienskappe, sowel as dae tot kalwing (dekbesonderhede).

As per our previous letter please consider this urgent request.

As the industry has for some time now and still is moving towards the use of genomic information the society, in our quest to remain competitive, wishes to request all its members please to endeavour submitting performance data in accordance with the Breedplan testing plan.

Even just a little bit of data is better than none at all – even if you can only submit weaning weights it would be far better than not to measure or weigh at all. If you do not have a scale you can still measure traits such as days to calving, temperament, scrotum circumference, sheath, etc from which valuable breeding values can be calculated for these traits.

Please also submit any historical data to the office so that we may update the breed’s performance information. We require the following – weight\measurement date, ID of animal and weight\ measurement.

Please contact the office if you require:

- More information in regard to performance testing- Weighing forms when animals must be weighed

New members – If you wish to start with performance testing please contact the office for more information.

If you do not use HerdMaster for electronic submission please see www.brahman.co.za/ Breed improvement\Templates for the Excel spreadsheets for submission of weights and traits as well as days to calving (mating particulars).

gJUDGING CONFERENCE

A very good junior judges course was held at Francoilin Creek. Their were 13 candidates and the standard was very high. We had two candidates from Botswana and one from Zimbabwe. Ater a very good course, 2 candidates named Attie Koen and Harley van Rhyn passed the course and are now Junior Judges on the Brahman judges panel.

On the Tuesday the Training Committee had a meeting and the B brand, Farmers Days and Training days were finalised. That night at a dinner the Breed judges were honored by the Council and Society and received a certificate thanking them for their sacrifice to the breed and was handed to them.

Wednesday the yearly judges symposium was held and a very fruitfull day was held. Practical classes were judged and discussed. The criteria for the herd inspections and B brand inspections was discussed and set in place.

Breeders please call us if you require a herd inspection; it is our aim this year to streamline our inspection system with the ultimate aim of improving our breed.

B BRAND RULES AND PROCEDURES

As previously advised the B brand (mark of quality) to be used on inspected bulls has now been finalised and will in future be branded on inspected bulls, to confirm that they were inspected, in terms of and conform to the Society’s minimum breed standard and are therefore suitable for breeding purposes.

Implementation day: January 2016

In order to qualify for the B brand the following minimum standards must be met:

1. Application of standard of excellence.2. Performance testing:2.1. Minimum ICP of the dams of bulls to be branded

(550 days).2.2. As from 2018 the minimum performance

requirements will include the submission of the weaning mass of the complete herd as well as the cow mass taken during hte weaning process.

2.3. As from 2017 scrotum circumference will be compulsory as prescribed in the Breedplan testing plan (measurement to be taken between 300 – 700 days).

3. Inspection of bulls to be performed by breed and senior judges.

4. A list will be provided by the office to identify bulls that qualify to be branded in terms of the above requirements. Animals to be inspected must be presented in a reasonably good condition.

5. Unless the above minimum requirements are met, animals inspected in accordance with the inspection card will not qualify for the B brand.

6. The inspection date will be printed on the certificate.

7. The B brand process is not compulsory.8. Only bulls are branded with the B.

Arrange with your regional representative or Sietze Smit for inspection of your bull for qualifying for B branding.

BEOORDELAARSKONFERENSIE

‘n Baie goeie junior opleidingskursus was gehou by Francolin Creek en ‘n baie hoë standaard is gehandhaaf deur die 13 kandidate. Daar was twee kandidate van Botswana en een van Zimbabwe. Na ‘n baie goeie kursus het twee kandidate naamlik Attie Koen en Harley van Rhyn die kursus geslaag en is nou op die Brahman beoordelaarspaneel as junior beoordelaars.

Die Dinsdagoggend by die Opleidingskomitee is die “B brand”, Boeredae en Opleidingsdae gefinaliseer. Die aand is ‘n ete gehou om die Ras Beoordelaars te vereer deur die Raad, en elkeen het ‘n sertifikaat van bedanking ontvang vir al die opofferings wat hulle maak vir die ras.

Woensdag is die jaarlikse konferensie gehou en dit was ‘n baie leersame dag. Praktiese klasse was beoordeel en bespreek. Die kriteria vir die diere en “B brand” inspeksies was bespreek en is in plek gesit.

Telers moet ons asseblief skakel indien hul keuring op hulle kuddes verlang. Ons wil hierdie jaar poog om ons keuring op die been te kry om ons ras beter te maak.

“B BRAND” REËLS EN PROSEDURES

Soos reeds in die verlede gekommunikeer is die “B brand” (Mark of quality) wat op gekeurde bulle gebrand gaan word nou gefinaliseer en sal in die toekoms op gekeurde bulle gebrand word om te sertifiseer dat sodanige bulle volgens die standaard van die ras gekeur is en geskik is vir teling.

Implementeringsdatum: Januarie 2016.

Die volgende minimum standaarde is gestel om te kwalifiseer vir “B brand”:

1. Toepassing van standaard van voortreflikheid.2. Prestasietoetsing:2.1. Minimum IKP van moeders van bulle wat

gebrand moet word (550 dae).2.2. Vanaf 2018 sal die minimum prestasievereistes

onderhewig wees aan totale indiening van die betrokke kudde se speenmassas sowel as die koeimassa geneem tydens die speenproses.

2.3. Vanaf 2017 is skrotum meting (testis omvang) ’n vereiste soos voorgeskryf in die Breedplan-toetsplan (meting tussen 300 – 700 dae).

3. Rasbeoordelaars en Senior beoordelaars doen keuring van bulle.

4. ŉ Volledige lys sal vanaf die kantoor verskaf word om bulle wat kwalifiseer om ge“brand” te word te identifiseer na aanleiding van bogenoemde minimum vereistes. Die diere wat gekeur moet word moet in ŉ redelike goeie kondisie aangebied word vir inspeksie.

5. Diere wat op die gewone keuringsproses (keurkaart) gekeur is, voldoen nie aan die “B brand” as die bogenoemde minimum vereistes nie in plek is nie.

6. Keuringsdatum word op die sertifikaat gedruk.7. Die “B brand” proses is nie verpligtend nie.8. Slegs bulle word met ŉ “B gebrand”.

Reël met ‘n streekverteenwoordiger of Sietze indien u, u bulle wil keur vir die “B brand”.

Teleropleiding & keuringThe concept of breeder training and inspection is strange to many breeders and we do not receive the desired response thereto.

It is aimed at empowering breeders to evaluate their own herds and to cull animals that do not contribute to the improvement of their herd.

Coupled with this is the inspection of herds where breeders may employ the services of Breed Advisors to inspect their herds. As we all know we no longer have the technical officials that used to do this. It will however be in the interests of all concerned if we could as soon as possible have our herds inspected in order that it be cited on certificates that our animals have once again been subjected to inspection.

This should be to the benefit of all concerned. Training in the use of the Score card holds the following benefits for us as breeders:

• Measurements are taken in accordance with a uniform principle at all breeders;

• It is a consumer friendly form of evaluation\measuring;

• You develop a more critical eye for structural soundness in a specific animal or in your own herd;

• You set your own standards and learn to adapt it; and

• It is a workable, cheap method and aid to improve your herd.

The following activities will be presented in the various regions and your participation would be greatly appreciated:

• A Training Day for breeders will be presented on 16 April on the farm of Mr. Isak de Villiers, Stoffberg. Please contact Gerrie Roos for more information.

• The Mmpumalanga club is organising another training session of which the date will be announced shortly. Please contact Mr. Pieter Meiring on 082 555 9563 for details.

Many thanks to Johan Drotsky for his time spent in the interests of the High Veld club and congratulations to Gerrie Roos on his election as Chairman of the Highveld Club.

Northern Cape:

Various events are being planned by the Kalahari- and Northern Cape Club

• On 7 April 2016 during the Vryburg Show there is a Regional Meeting which will be held at the Brahman club house at 09:00.

Issues to be addressed:

a) B branding and the application thereof.

Die konsep van teleropleiding en -keuring is by baie van ons telers nog baie vreemd en kry ons nie die reaksie daarop soos ons dit graag sou wou sien nie.

Die gedagte rondom die teleropleiding is daarop gemik om ons telers te bemagtig om hulle kuddes te evalueer en om self diere wat nie tot voordeel van die kudde is nie, te kan uitskot.

Hiermee saam word ook die keuring van kuddes gesien waar ‘n teler gebruik kan maak van die Rasadviseurs om behulpsaam te wees om kuddes te keur. Soos almal bewus is, het ons nie meer die tegniese beamptes wat hierdie taak verrig nie. Dit is egter tot almal se voordeel indien ons, ons onderskeie kuddes so spoedig moontlik weer gekeur kry, sodat dit op die sertifikate aangetoon kan word dat ons diere weer aan keuring blootgestel word.

Dit behoort vir almal tot voordeel te strek. Vir ons as telers hou die opleiding vir die gebruik van die Keurkaart die volgende voordele in:

• Ons gebruik onder andere ‘n eenvormige maatstaf van meting by elke teler;

• Dit is ‘n verbruikersvriendelike vorm van evaluering/meting;

• Dit maak u meer krities vir die strukturele korrektheid in ‘n spesifieke dier of in u eie kudde;

• U stel u eie standaarde en leer om dit aan te pas; en

• Dit is ‘n werkbare, goedkoop metode en beslis ‘n hulpmiddel om u kudde te verbeter.

Die volgende aktiwiteite gaan gedurende die jaar in die onderskeie streke en klubs plaasvind en sal ons dit waardeer indien ons lede asseblief aktief hieraan sal deelneem:

• Daar word ook ‘n Teleropleidingsdag beplan vir 16 April op die plaas van Mnr Isak de Villiers, Stoffberg. Skakel asb met Gerrie Roos vir meer besonderhede.

• Die Mmpumalanga klub beplan onder andere ook ‘n teleropleidingsdag, waarvan die datum later bekend gemaak sal word. Vir navrae kan daar met Mnr Pieter Meiring geskakel word, by 082 555 9563.

Ons wil ook van die geleentheid gebruik maak om vir Johan Drotsky dankie te sê vir die tyd wat hy aan die Hoëveldklub spandeer het. Hiermee wil ons ook van die geleentheid gebruik maak om vir Gerrie Roos geluk te wens met sy verkiesing as Voorsitter van die Hoëveldklub.

Noord-Kaap:

Verskeie aktiwiteite word deur die Kalahari- en Noord-Kaapklub beplan.

Herewith a brief synopsis of Wessel Hattingh and Jan van Zyl’s Windhoek visit 25 to 27 January 2016.

The purpose of the visit was to foster a closer working relationship and to create marketing opportunities for the benefit of both parties. We attended the Council meeting and Judges conference.

• Quoting from a letter received from Ryno vd Merwe, Namibian President

Hiermee samevatting van besoek deur Wessel Hattingh en Jan van Zyl na Windhoek 25 tot 27 Januarie 2016. Die doel van die besoek was om nouer samewerking te bevorder en bemarkingsgeleenthede te skep ten voordeel van beide partye. Ons het die Raadsvergadering en beoordelaarskonferensie byge-woon gedurende die tydperk. Sien onderstaande samevatting van die besoek:

• Aanhalings Ryno vd Merwe, Namibië President

“Beste Wessel en Jan,Dankie vir die geleentheid dat ons `n gesamentlike Raadsvergadering kon hou.Enkele van my indrukke:Dit is altyd voordeliger om probleme, maar ook geleenthede saam aan te spreek. Jy leer ook altyd iets by iemand anders.Dit was sinvol gewees om oor die markaandele en status van die Brahman in die RSA en Namibië te kon gesels. ‘n Gesamentlike Afrika mark vir die Brahman is `n geleentheid. Nie een van ons twee lande het genoeg diere beskikbaar as die mark behoorlik ontgun word. Ons sal verdere strategieë moet beplan.Dankie vir die volledige terugvoering oor die bemarking in die Brahman bylaag. Ons sal probeer om 4 bladsye advertensies uit Namibië te kry. Ons steun die poging.Dit was ook belangrik gewees om oor genetiese

tendense in die Brahman en die BG Projek te kan gedagtes wissel. Die semenkatalogus en B – brand sal ons verder bespreek en terugvoering gee.Dit was ook belangrik gewees dat julle die Beoordelaarskonferensie kon bywoon waar ons o.a. kon gesels en terugvoering gee oor beoordeling tydens ons skoue, die keuringsproses en verantwoordelikhede van ons keurders, asook `n oorsig van die veebedryf en vooruitsigte van die stoetbedryf in 2016 te kan bespreek. Opsommend moet ons altyd vra of so `n besoek die kostes regverdig. My opinie is dat dit wel die geval is. Natuurlik moet daar resultate wees en nie net gesels nie.Baie dankie vir julle besoek.GroeteRyno”

ONTWIKKELING SUIDER AFRIKADEVELOPMENT SOUTHERN AFRICA

We wish to bring the following to your attention as well;

The market share and status of the Brahman in the RSA and Namibia. There are 51 000 registered Brahman and 380 breeders in the RSA. Since 2006\2007 the registered animals in Namibia increased from 11 000 to 20 000 in 2015. The increase in animal and breeder numbers over the past years is therefore evident and the Brahman holds 60% market share in Namibia.

Ons wil graag verder enkele punte onder u aandag bring;

Die Markaandeel en status van die Brahman in die RSA en Namibië. Die RSA het 51 000 geregistreerde Brahmane en 380 telers. Namibiese geregistreerde diere het vanaf 2006/2007 met 11 000 diere na 20 000 in 2015 gestyg. Daar is dus `n toename in diere en telers die afgelope jare. In die nasionale kudde in Namibië het die Brahman 60% van die markaandeel.

Vision of Africa market

The Brahman is popular in the dry and hot parts of the world. A joint venture with Namibia will work. Good quality bulls and stud animals must be sold and top heifers should be marketed.

Ethiopia and Sudan have the highest cattle numbers in Africa.

Identify influential farmers and the governments of various countries. Identify or task people in the RSA and Namibia to draw up strategies. Focus on the strong points. Obtain information about the countries where the Brahman must be marketed. The African market beckons.

Inspection

Inspection is compulsory in Namibia. It is effective and a proper program and statistics are in place.

Semen catalogue

The aim is to draw up a semen catalogue for about 20 Brahman bulls. The criteria must be mentioned in the catalogue. The idea would be for this to be a joint venture; veterinary protocol should be in place.

We have recently had discussions with Dr Fanie Steyn of Ramsem in Bloemfontein and it is encouraging to note that actions are already in place to establish protocol with various countries.

Visie van Afrika mark

Die Brahman is gewild in droë en warm dele van die wêreld. `n Gesamentlike poging met Namibië sal werk. Goeie bulle en goeie stoetdiere moet verkoop word. Topverse behoort bemark te word.

Ethiopië en die Soedan is die Afrika lande met die meeste beeste.

Identifiseer mense in lande wat invloed het soos regerings en individuele boere. Identifiseer/taak persone (RSA en Namibië) wat `n strategie kan uitwerk. Fokus op die sterk punte. Win inligting in oor die lande waarin die Brahman bemark moet word. Die Afrika mark lê oop vir die Brahman.

Keuring

Verpligte keuring is in Namibië van toepassing, dit werk en behoorlike statistiek en program is in plek.

Semen katalogus

Die doel is om `n semenkatalogus te kry vir ongeveer 20 Brahman bulle. Die kriteria moet in die katalogus genoem word. Die ideaal sal wees om dit gesamentlik te doen.

Veterinêre protokolle moet in plek wees.

Daar is onlangs gesprek gevoer met Dr Fanie Steyn van Ramsem in Bloemfontein en dit is bemoedigend om te noem dat daar reeds aksies in plek is om protokolle te vestig met verskeie lande.

Bielie mielieFees- Telanie Strydom

“Die fees met gees” ek dink nie daar is ‘n beter manier om die Bielie Mielie Fees te beskryf nie. Tela-Brano Brahmane het tydens die naweek van 11-14 Februarie 2016 op Reitz by die Bielie Mielie Fees gaan kuier. Daar was vee uitstallings van verskillende rasse onder andere die Drakensbergers, Charolais, Boran, Senepol, Brangus, Hereford, Sussex, Braunview, Simmentalers en Brahman. Daar was elke dag met die beeste ‘n parade gehou vir ekstra blootstelling. Die brahmane het agter in die parade geloop en almal opgehou. Soos wat ons geloop het, het almal ons voorgekeur om foto’s te neem en die bulle te vryf. Daar was weereens klomp interessante vrae gevra en sêgoed onder die jong klomp. Een seuntjie sê vir sy pa “die bul lyk net soos ‘n haai” verwysend na die skof. Hulle beplan om volgende jaar die jongspan te betrek by die vee deur Jeugskou ook by die fees aan te bied.

Daar was tonne vermaak vir oud en jonk. Van modeparade tot rofstoei. Daar was klomp pryse te wen met verskillende kompetisies wat deur die naweek gehou is. Daar was ‘n groot Gymkana die Saterdag. Bulletjie Rugby en Mini Netbal is gehou en daar was baie potensiaal vir die Springbokke. Die Merino’s het ‘n ramveiling en ‘n skaapskeervertoning gehou in samewerking met BKB. Daar was ook ‘n honde vertoning. Daar was trekkers van die nuutste tegnologie op die mark tot veteraan trekkers. Niemand het honger gelei die naweek met al die heerlike kos wat by al die kos stalletjies voorberei is. Kokkedoor en Vaatjie het ook die feesgangers kom wenke gee oor kos maak. Dit was so waar ‘n fees om by te wees. Die fees met gees. Ons is verseker volgende jaar weer terug.
