GUEST: WANDILE SIHLOBO - Agricultural Economist THOUGHTLEADER, STORYTELLERS AND GRIOTS Today, I joined farmers to see how they market their Karoo products. First, we walked about 5 km or so in the morning, collecting a herd of sheep from various camps – through the rocky veld and in the chilly wind of the Karoo morning. We finally got them to the kraal for sorting and selection – see picture. The next task was to wean the lambs from their mothers and to keep the young females for continuous reproduction. The males were ready for the market. In the farmers quest to operate sustainably and not expose the fragile grazing veld to too many sheep, given the low rainfall season, some lambs are taken to the feedlot to prepare them for an unknown meat market.
