Show Notes

In this episode, we explore why Kalahari Red goats are becoming the breed of choice for many South African farmers. 

Join us as we speak to Leroy van de Merwe of Redstag Ranch in Limpopo. From the breed’s remarkable adaptability and meat quality to practical advice on breeding, culling, and managing performance.


We also bust the myth of the "low-maintenance" goat, as van de Merwe highlights how small-scale and communal farmers can benefit from introducing Kalahari Red genetics to improve productivity and profitability.
