Die Skaapstudiegroep van Agri Malmesbury het Vrydagoggend (19 Augustus) sy 40ste jaarlikse kudde-evaluering by die Malmesbury-skouterrein aangebied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
John Durr, voorsitter van die Skaapstudiegroep, s\u00ea die hoofdoel was om kuddes met mekaar te vergelyk deur groepies van 50, wat intussen weens Covid na 10 verminder is, bymekaar te bring en te laat evalueer deur onafhanklike kundiges in die skaapbedryf en \u2019n kompetisie binne drie skaaprasse \u2013 Merino, SA Vleismerino en Dohne Merino \u2013 te hou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTerselfdertyd word inligting uitgeruil tussen boere en kundiges, tesame met nuwe tegnologie en nuwe praktyke, wat tot die verbetering van die kuddes se wol- en vleisproduksie kan lei. Die meeste van hierdie doelwitte is behaal deur deelnemers wat tans nog deelneem,\u201d verduidelik Durr. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Durr s\u00ea egter baie deelnemers het die skaapbedryf verlaat, hoofsaaklik weens die impak van veediefstal en in \u2019n mindere mate die afgelope droogte, en dit word in die huidige ho\u00eb vleispryse weerspie\u00ebl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgends Durr het meer as 60 leerders van vier skole en studente van Elsenburg vanjaar die dag bygewoon en waardevolle blootstelling gekry. \u2019n Besluit is vroe\u00ebr geneem om skoolleerders en landboustudente by die dag in te sluit as \u2019n manier om die dag verder uit te bou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns het begin om skoolleerders en landboustudente, wat landbou as vak neem, te nooi om lesings oor dieresiektes, wolproduksie en vleisgradering asook die hantering van skape by te woon,\u201d verduidelik Durr. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die kudde-evaluering en gepaardgaande aktiwiteite is \u2019n belangrike geleentheid om gemeenskappe bymekaar te bring en die dag saam te geniet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie karkasse van lammers wat aan \u2019n slaglam-kompetisie (ook deel van die kudde-evaluering) deelneem, word aan die publiek op \u2019n veiling aangebied en ook hi\u00e9r word waardevolle inligting uitgeruil en vordering gemaak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met Vrydag se re\u00ebn kon die skaapskeerkompetisie nie voortgaan nie omdat die wol nog nat was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Durr was hierdie die eerste geleentheid sedert die begin van die Covid-19-pandemie, waar \u2019n groot groep plaasboere, jongplaasboere, plaaswerkers en leerders van verskeie skole bymekaar kon kom. \u201cVanjaar het ons ook die geleentheid gehad om die vroue, wat die afgelope 40 jaar \u2019n belangrike rol gespeel het, erkenning te gee,\u201d s\u00ea hy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
