MOHAIR news I nuus From the SA Mohair Industry / Vanaf die SA Sybokhaarbedryf
VAN HASSELT FARMING RETAINS MIYUKI KEORI MOHAIR TROPHY! The annual Miyuki Keori Mohair Trophy was held at the Mohair HeadQuarters in Port Elizabeth. The President of Miyuki Keori Company, Mr. Kiyoshi Okumura attended the Miyuki Keori Mohair Trophy to address the finalists in his opening speech before announcing the winners in their categories. The long standing competition launched by the Japanese manufacturers and sales of men’s luxury textile fabrics, Miyuki Keori Company limited gives recognition to South African mohair producers for their enduring efforts to maintain and improve on the presentation and quality of the South African mohair clip. During the Japanese summer season, Mohair is the suiting fabric of choice, not only because of the obvious characteristics such as the beautiful lustre and crease resistance of the fibre, but ultimately the climate controlling quality that only a natural fibre can offer. Mr. Andrew Laing in his opening speech at the award ceremony emphasised that it is refreshing to notice that three of the six

finalists were from the Western Cape region and it was also very pleasing to see that three of the attending finalists were young producers from the next generation. Gay & Jordi van Hasselt, winners of the Grand Champion Miyuki Keori Mohair Trophy won this prize for the fourth time. President Okumura, who passionately refers to mohair as the most unique fibre in the world, proudly proclaims South African producers as the leaders in Mohair production.

MOHAIR COMPETITIONS What you need to know by Deon Saayman, MD Mohair South Africa Producers often wonder what the aims of competitions are, and whether they add value to the mohair industry. The prices paid for Zegna competition bales in particular raise eyebrows. Let’s put the major competitions in context. There are three mohair competitions sponsored by international companies. These are:
• • •
The Daidoh competition The Ermenegildo Zegna Mohair Trophy The Miyuki Keori competition
Each of these competitions has a rich history in the South African mohair industry, and the long-standing associations with these companies should be respected and treasured . The rules of these competitions are assessed regularly and changes are implemented when deemed necessary to improve them. The Daidoh competition trophy is awarded for the highest average price for a summer kid clip. The whole summer kid clip is considered, with a factor applied to compensate for fluctuations in the auction price. The winners are determined by a computer calculation, with no judges involved. The Miyuki Keori competition is focussed on classing and sustainability, and a trophy is awarded for the best-classed clip. This com-
petition takes into consideration the complete clip; kids, young goats and adults, and is judged by a panel. The Zegna trophy is awarded for the best bale of summer kid mohair. About 50% of the points are determined by measurement , and the balance by a panel of three judges. Zegna tries to secure the three first bales in the competition for their own use. The prices paid for the top Zegna bales are not commercial prices, and so cannot be compared to the market price. The Zegna group focuses on securing the best raw materials in the world: wool from Australia, cashmere from China, vicuna from South America, and mohair from South Africa. They utilise this sourcing blueprint in all of their marketing material and have built their brand around this. They can ask what they like for the end product, as their brand is incredibly powerful. It is an opportunity for industries like mohair to increase brand awareness by association. Each of these sponsoring companies has a line called “mohair trophy” in their ranges, and the industry should acknowledge the influential role the companies play in their specific market segments. It is the prerogative of every mohair producer to decide whether to participate in the competitions. Should they choose not to participate, it is still worthwhile to contribute by making positive suggestions on how to improve the competitions, rather than writing them off.

NUWE SASKV UITVOERENDE BESTUURSKOMITTEE
ONTMOET DIE NUWE SASKV VOORSITTER, ANDRIES GREEFF Andries Albertus Petrus Greeff, gebore en getroud in Willowmore met Ansie (Naudé) en uit die huwelik is gebore twee seuns en ‘n dogter. Grootoupa Johannes Greeff het Beervlei in 1892 by die Cape Stock Farming Co gekoop. Volgens alle rekords boer die Greeff’s sederdien hoofsaaklik met Angora’s. Ekself boer al 45 jaar op Beervlei met angora’s. Wat wil ek vir die bedryf hê ? ´Om sybokhaar produksie en bemarking te bevorder sodat elke produsent die volle waarde van sy produk kan besef en trots wees daarop.’ Omdat dit al hoe moeiliker word om vertikaal uit te brei het dit al hoe belangriker geword dat ons met wat ons het net beter moet doen. As jou plaas net ‘n 1000 teelooie toelaat kan jy nie met meer boer nie, want jou veld gaan dit nie toelaat nie. Om produksie te bevorder moet ons kyk om vanaf dieselfde getal ooie meer lammers te speen en hare van beter kwaliteit te produseer. Paartyd is ‘n baie belangrike tyd, alle nodige
voorbereidings moet getref word om ‘n hoër besettingsyfer te verseker. Goeie en getoetste veldaangepaste ramme moet gebruik word. ‘n Goeie ongedierte bestuurstelsel moet gevolg word wat begin met die toepak van grensdrade en die toemaak van lamkampe. Verbeterde nuwe stelsels moet benut word byvoorbeeld KI, lamkampies of lamhokke, sonar skandering om onvrugbare ooie uit te haal. Die versorging van bokkies, van speen tot 2-tand is net so belangrik. Die meeste vrektes vind dan plaas en dit is die duurste hare wat jy verloor en die grootbokke van môre. In bemarking het ons ‘n goeie span vir oorsee, maar plaaslik kan onsself ook ons deel bydra deur om ‘n paar kouse, serp of kombers as geskenk vir iemand te gee sodat hulle kan sien met watter wonderlike dier en produk ons boer. Die bedryf het al die kundiges tot ons beskikking. Om bogenoemde te behaal moet ons net van hulle gebruik maak. Voorspoedige lamtyd.
Die Suid-Afrikaanse Sybokhaarkwekersvereniging het tydens hul jaarlikse Kongres in Junie 2016 die verkiesing van nuwe Uitvoerende Bestuurskomittee uitgevoer. Die nuwe bestuur vir SASKV is soos volg verkies en sal vir ‘n termyn van twee jaar dien: Voorsitter: Andries Greeff Ondervoorsitter: Mark Shires Uitvoerende Bestuurslede: Cobus de Klerk, Rothner Bekker, Paul Broeksma, Colin Maartins, Katie Miners, Jaco Oelofse,, Niel Rossouw, Coligny Stegmann, Weeber Truter en Elna van den Bergh SASKV Bestuurder: Petrie Maré Finansies en Administrasie: Sanmarie Vermaak. Ons bedank die Uittredende President, Mnr. Cobus de Klerk vir die toewyding in sy leierskap posisie by die SASKV en wens mnr. Andries Greeff baie geluk en voorspoed in sy pos as nuutverkose SASKV Voorsitter. Ons bedank ook vir Mnr. Mark Shires vir sy voordurende diens as ondervoorsitter asook die bestuur wat hul tyd en waardevolle insette volgehou in die diens van die SASKV belê in die beste belange van gesonde sybokhaarproduksie.

Marketing Mohair around the World
T
he Mohair Marketing team had the audience at the edge of their
seats at SAMGA’s 73rd Annual Congress with their dynamic presentation on the Mohair marketing outputs. Take a sneak peak at their bumper dairy over the past three months: 17 June 2016
DIE BURGER MR PE Mohair South Africa provided Mohair menswear for Die Burger Mr PE gala event which was held at the Boardwalk Conference Centre. Providing the entrants with the ever-+popular Mohair socks and masculine and fashionable mens scarves to don on the catwalk. Congratulations to the winner of the competition, Nicolas Affat. 22 June 2016 74th SAMGA CONGRESS It was phenomal to learn Congress how the collaborations between Mohair SA and other manufacturers across the globe have extended the reach of how versatile mohair. Extensive face-to-face interaction at trade-shows and exhibits have made great contributions towards securing very fruitful marketing partnerships leading to mohair being on the all catwalks around the world. Another surprise to the delegates was when Anlé and Lindsay presented the Stevenbe reality video clip. This episode of the American television show (with over one million viewers) was sponsored by Mohair South Africa. The unothodox show host Steven Be, adorded by the US knitters displayed the uses and colours of mohair splashed allover the screen. Watch the show on http://www.stevenbe.tv/tulsaok. 24 - 26 June 2016 ABSA Kirkwood Festival Whilst preparing and presenting at Congress, the Marketing team was also setting-up for their fourth ABSA Kirkwood Festival.

As usual, the Mohair tent offered local manufacturers a platform to sell their products and to enjoy the exposure and support of over 40 000 festival goers. 27 June - 3 July 2016 PITTI FILATI, a first for Mohair! As the leading yarn trade show in Europe, showcasing yarns for the knitting industry the waiting list to exhibit at this show is endless. Mohair South Africa had the opportunity to collaberate with local and international mohair manufacturers to exhibit at the bi-annual event for the first time. The show includes high quality spinners, knitters, knitwear designers and specialized knitting machine manufactures. Anlé Marais reported that there were 130 collections/ exhibitors supported by a dynamic atmosphere in terms of the orders and business contacts made, as demonstrated by the comments and feedback received by Pitti Filati. 19-21 July 2016 SPIN EXPO, NEW YORK Spin Expo, New York was held for the 8th time in New York and Mohair South Africa took exhibition space for the second year running. 2016 saw a new approach for trade shows under the Mohair SA umbrella to expand our reach within our assigned budget effectively.

pieces in London, Italy and China and introduced the Studio Mohair expo. The first Studio Mohair exhibit was shown at Pitti Filati in Florence, where after it travelled to Spin Expo, New York followed by Spin Expo, Shanghai in September. At each exhibit, a few new pieces were introduced and the focus of the stand changed. The stand consisted of an array of interesting knits, blends, weaves, hand knits, crochet and accessories, including bags, scatter cushions and more. Each product was labeled with the actual yarn sample, compositions and details of yarn suppliers and manufacturers of the particular piece. This process is one that we have perfected in efficiently assisting with the effectiveness of the stand and ultimately influencing direct sales. It was noted at the show, that despite the lagging global economy, the high quality and luxury market is still strong with many high-end fashion / home ware brands visiting our stand. The visitors to the show came in larger numbers per company and it was clear that retail brands and consumers are still chasing

ANIMAL HEALTH TALK
REGULAR FEATURE
by Dr Mackie Hobson
difficult births With kidding becoming a more intensive practice, Angora farmers are increasingly involved in the birthing process. We all recognise the onset of labour, with the ewe usually wandering off on its own and showing the initial signs of uneasiness, kicking, pawing the ground, lying down and getting up frequently, and sporadic urinating or attempts at urination. These signs may last 1-8 hours. We are also familiar with the second stage of labour, featuring the appearance of the water sac and evidence of a foot exiting the birth canal. This stage lasts about 1-2 hours (approximately 15-30 minutes per kid). The placenta is usually passed roughly 15 minutes after the kid is born. The question is, when things go wrong, at what stage should we intervene and take action to try and save the life of a kid? The following guidelines can help in making that decision:
• The ewe has been straining for 30 minutes with no progress. • The water sac is observed for longer than one hour. Never try to pull the kid out without being sure of its position and presentation. The position of the kid must be determined and corrected by feeling it with your clean, lubricated hand. Visit the website, http://www.angoras.co. za/article/dystocia-difficult-births to learn the different presentations, positions and postures, and how to go about correcting these before trying to pull the kid out. Important points to keep in mind regarding late pregnancy and kidding: • Increased demand from the foetus means that the ewe’s nutritional requirements are 2-3 times higher than that of a dry ewe during the last four weeks of pregnancy, as well as early lactation. • 80% of kid deaths occur in the first month due to low birth weight, decreased colostrum, inadequate milk supply and poor mothering, all affected by the nutrition of the ewe.
a) Avoid movement or working with the ewe as much as possible. b) When moving ewes onto lands it may take the rumen microbes 7-10 days to adapt, so nutritional stress may occur. c) Cold stress increases glucose requirements by 66%. • Vaccinate the ewe 4-6 weeks before kidding (for colostrum transfer of antibodies). • Perform vitamin and mineral supplementation of the ewe 4-6 weeks before kidding. • Roundworm counts rise in late pregnancy and early lactation, so you need to check faecal counts. Studies have demonstrated that 5% of L3 stage wireworm larvae picked up from the vegetation establish as adult worms in a normal adult dry ewe. During late pregnancy and lactation, this increases to 30-40%.
• Decreased glucose causes increased oestrogen precursors, and hence decreased progesterone, leading to abortion. Abortions may occur 1-5 days after nutritional or environmental stress, so it is important to remember:

PRESIDENTSREDE 2016 Geagte mnr MAX DU PREEZ, voorsitter van die Sybokhaartrust, voorsitter van SSA, afgevaardigdes, genooide gaste, dames en here. Vandag is dit vir my’n voorreg om op die 73ste jaarkongres die presidentsrede te lewer. Die afgelope jaar het verby gevlieg, ek weet nie of dit al die veranderinge is wat in die bedryf plaas gevind het, wat hom so vining laat verby vlieg het nie. MSA se jaarvergadering vyf dae na verlede jaar se kongres en die uitgebreide trust samestelling direk daarna nie. Dit was n mylpaal in die geskiedenis van die sybokhaarbedryf. Die produsent het nou deur SAMGA direkte verteenwoordiging op MSA en die Sybokhaartrust. Dit was ook n jaar van eerstes; eerste jaar van herstrukturering, die nuwe Mohair HQ - gebou wat geopen is, die eerste Zegna winkel in Suid-Afrika wat deur Mnr. PAOLO ZEGNA self geopen is, die oorhandiging van die eerste drie pryswenners op ‘n glansgeleentheid in Sandton, Johannesburg . Weereens geluk aan die wenners: F.E. Colborne en seun, P.H.Viljoen en A.R.Hobson.

Met die betrekking en opening van die nuwe gebou is ‘n nuwe era betree. Dit is ‘n lus vir die oog - PE weet nou van sybokhaar! The Mohair capital of the world has a new meaning. Mohair HQ houses a new mohair shop that is of great value to the industry and generates a great deal of business. I encourage each producer to visit the new building and to spread the word of this fantastic new shop. Encourage them to buy these proudly South African natural fibre products. I Sybokhaarproduksie het met 1,2% gestyg het tot 2,48m/kg vir die jaar 2015 met ‘n gemiddelde prys van R213,51. Die 2016 somerseisoen se gemiddelde markaanwyser was R248,08 - baie produsente het veel hoër skeersel gemiddeldes behaal. It is encouraging to see the effort more and more producers are putting into their clips and the benefit they receive in rand value. • SA production is 2,48 m/kg SA + Lesotho 3.214 M/KG • Lesothoproduction: 734000m/kg • WORLD production: 4,8 m/kg SA and Lesotho combined produce 66.95% of world. Ek wil MSA en veral die bemarkingsdames geluk wens met die werk wat hulle doen met die begroting tot hul beskikking. Met ‘n rand wat al swakker word, kan ons as produsente trots wees om so ‘n span aan ons kant te hê. Op verlede jaar se kongres het ek genoem dat ‘n persoon aangestel gaan word vir studie groepe en volhoubare riglyne. Mnr. SAREL HAYWARD is aangestel. Sommige van julle het hom al ontmoet, hy het vinnig by ons ingeskakel en ons wens hom alle sterkte toe in sy taak. In die toekoms gaan dit al hoe belangriker word om aan die volhoubare riglyne te voldoen. Al dink ons dit is onbelangrik, is die naspeurbaarheid van die oorsprong van natuurlike vesels in kledingstukke ‘n al groter vereiste onder verbruikers. Produsente moet hulle vergewis van watter “dip middels” gebruik mag word in die laaste drie maande voor skeer, skeersels gaan in die toekoms lukraak getoets word vir verbode aktiewe stowwe.

Vlnr: Mark Shires, SASKV Vise- President, Cobus de Klerk, voormalige SASKV President, Petrie Maré en Anita Stears.
MOHAIR EMPOWERMENT TRUST: Earlier this year Mr. BONGANI NDLOVU resigned from MSA to take up a post with the Eastern Cape Department of Agriculture at Fort Cox. For the time being Petrie Maré and Sarel Hayward will be acting officers in this positions. During the year three new projects were added in GraafReinet, Beaufort West and Kommadagga. I urge fellow producers, where possible, to assist these producers to become successful producers in their own right. PREDASIE: Predasie bly ‘n groot probleem. Ons is egter dankbaar teenoor die Sybokhaartrust vir die inisiatiewe van volhoubare sybokhaarproduksie wat geloots was. Die proses vir die opstel van die wetenskaplike assessering van predasie het uiteindelik begin na vele vertragings. Metodes word ondersoek om predasie spesifiek in die produksiegebied aan te spreek, met moontlike monitor plase in die produksiegebied met baie praktiese opleiding. BESTUUR: Die aksies wat deur die bestuur geloots was gedurende die afgelope jaar onder leiding van Mnr. Petrie Maré was ‘n groot sukses. Eerstens die boere dae wat aangebied was waar inligting en praktiese kennis oorgedra is, het produsente baie leersaam gevind veral waar suksesvolle produsente hulle kennis met ander deel. Ons moet meer sulke dae aanbied. Die oorhandiging van die jong ooitjies aan die Grootfontein student op die Somerset Oos ramveiling, het hom so aangespoor dat hy ‘n stoet begin het, so ook die student wat tweede geëindig het. Daar is vanjaar groter belanstelling in die angorabok miniplaas van senior studente as in die verlede wat ‘n teelaarde vir toekomstigte produsente is. Hierdie aksie moet ondersteun en voortgesit word. ANIMAL HEALTH: I would applaud the day that the heart water vaccine is freely available. Ever since the first congress that I attended, heart water was on the agenda. What a relief would it be for a lot of producers if the vaccine is freely available. Dr Hobson’s availability to the industry is of great importance for sustainable mohair production. I plea to the OBP to ensure that all vaccines for animals are freely available to producers. NASIONALE SKOU, KUDDEKOMPETISIE: Op 8-10 November 2016 word daar op Willowmore ‘n nasionale skou en kuddekompetisie gehou. Daar sal ook ander attraksies / besienswaardighede wees. Producers must take note of the date and prepare their goats for the event.
I want to wish Mr. Mark Shires and his team all of the best with their preparations for this big event. It’s been a while since we have had an event like this in our industry, good luck. NAMPO: Vanjaar het ons ‘n groter stalletjie betrek wat ‘n baie groot verskil teweeg gebring het. Met heelwat meer uitstalruimte kon meer mense ook op ‘n slag deur beweeg. Dit is glad nie ‘n vakansie nie en ek bedank graag ons span wat daar gewerk het: me.Robyn Rütters, Mnre Mark Shires, Paul Broeksma, Riano Greyling, Petrie Maré, Riaan Jeep en Stanley Jafta. Ons bedank ook graag vir Grootfontein Landbou Kollege wat vir ons die diere voorsien en voorberei het. I want to thank the whole industry (Brokers, buyers and processors) for the heartiness in which we work together for the sake of our wonderful product mohair. MSA, Rothner, Deon en al die personeel julle hulp en samewerking word hoog op prys gestel. Petrie en Sanmarie in die kantoor vir julle hulpvaardigheid en toegewydheid. Aan Mark Shires en die hele bestuur vir julle hulp en bystand, dit word opreg waardeer. Dit vergemaklik my taak baie. Baie dankie daarvoor. I want to thank the people who retire from the mohair trust at the end of October. Mr Angus Wood who served on the trust from its inception, and Mr Arthur Short who served on various bodies within the industry; SAMGA, ram breeders, journal committee and the mohair trust. Thank you for your dedication towards the industry over many years. ‘n Besonderse dank aan my vrou, Jeanetta, en seun, Barend, vir jul ondersteuning en verdraagsaamheid en die omsien na die boerdery. Laastens dank ek ons Hemelse Vader wat my krag en leiding gee om elke dag my dagtaak te voltooi. Die Henfred Coetzer trofee word oorhandig aan Mnr.Dicky Ogilvie van Aberdeen met Glenconnor in die tweede plek. Hierdie trofee is gerig om die aktiwiteite in die tak aan te moedig en Mnr. Bekker vra dat elke tak volgende jaar moet inskryf. Die verslag van SSA bestaan uit ‘n uitstekende voorlegging deur die bemarkingsdames Lindsay en Anlé. Dit is verstommend hoe bemarking van sybokhaar gedoen word deur samewerking met ander vervaardigers van oor die hele wereld. Daar word gefokus op jong ontwerpers by universiteite en by handelskoue wat bygewoon word. Steeds is sosiale media een van die grootste bemarkingsmiddele wat gebruik word. Daar is nou ook al stelsels in plek waar dit gemeet kan word hoeveel keer die woord bokhaar of dan mohair gebruik word daagliks. Die winkel by die nuwe bokhaargebou doen ook uitstekend en al die produsente word uit-

genooi om dit te besoek. Mnr. Bekker bedank die dames vir die uitstekende werk wat gedoen word deur die jaar. . Mnr. Sarel Hayward, Volhoubaarheids en Ekonomiese-inligtingsbeampte is huidiglik ook betrokke by die Bemagtigingstrust. Mnr. Maré neem nou verantwoordelik vir die praktiese uitvoering en Mnr. Hayward vir die ekonomiese sy van die projekte. Daar is tans 4 projekte, Brakrivier, Doringrivier, Irene en Weltevrede. Die nuuste projek is Tulpleegte. Daar is tans nog 3 projekte in die pyplyn. Daar word baie nou saamgewerk met die departemente van Landbou en Landelike Hervorming. Baie boere bly op plase en kan nie vorentoe gaan nie, want hulle kry geen fondse van die regering nie. Mnr. Johannes Möller van Agri SA wens die bemarkingsdames in sy toespraak geluk met die waarde wat toegevoeg word tot die bokhaar deur bemarking. hy voeg by dat dit een van die groot foute was wat tot gevolg gehad het met dit wat in Zimbabwe gebeur het. Indien die waardetoevoeging nie van produkte gebeur nie, word die deur gesluit, nie net vir wit produsente nie maar vir alle produsente van enige tipe landbouproduk. Deur met ander lande te skakel word daar geleer hoe om die regering van die dag te adviseer oor landbou en hoe om Landbou as ‘n nasionale bate vorentoe te neem. Mnr. Max du Preez, gasspreker van die kongres, is ‘n gerekende skrywer van politieke boeke en rubrieke. Sy opinie is dat dit glad nie goed gaan met die politiek en die ekonomie nie maar hy glo dat die struktuur nog stewig is. Die publiek ...volg op bladsy 15

is so geneig om na propaganda en afbrekende politieke praatjies te luister dat hulle vergeet ons is ‘n nasie wat ‘n plan kan maak. Dieregesondheid: Dr. Hobson se vooropgeneemde video insetsel bied terugvoering oor die hartwater entstof ontwikkeling situasie. Dit is met groot sukses in die veld getoets. OBP het sy eerste opsie uitgevoer om eienaars te raak van entstof. OBP het hierdie entstof nou in massa gemaak maar nou moet dit deur verskeie toetse gaan soos hoe lank is die raklewe van hierdie entstof en die ander registrasie prosesse. Na al die prosesse voltooi word gaan die dossier na Act 36 vir die registrasie daarvan. Hulle het aangedui dat dit moontlik teen die einde van 2017 beskikbaar sal wees. Dus nog ‘n baie lang proses. Die beskrywingspunt van Glenconnor is weereens die versoek dat die ontwikkelende entstof so gou as moontlik aan produsente beskikbaar gestel word. Die feit is dat hartwater besig is om vinnig te versprei. Die vraag word gevra of dit nie op die eie risiko van die boere gebruik kan word nie. Al het OBP dit in massas gemaak wil hulle dit nie beskikbaar stel nie. Mnr. Davey Herold, voorsitter van die Sybohaartrust lewer sy verslag. Met die herstruktering is daar reeds kostes bespaar soos vergaderings het verminder van 4 na 3. Die bedryf is nou meer effektief. Die Bemagtigingstrust word uitgesonder as die trust wat in SA die meeste doen vir swart bemagtiging. Indien daar een grootskaal produsent per jaar gevestig kan word is dit geslaagd. Groot skaal is om ten minste 2000 bokke te kan hê. Die trust het slegs 1.9 persent gegroei wat nie goed is nie aangesien die Trust bereid is om 5 persent te bestee op die industrie. Mnr. Herold sou graag meer geld op bemarking wou spandeer
omdat dit nodig is om mense te vertel van bokhaar. Die gedagte word genoem dat daar van die produsente moet gevra word om by te dra tot so ‘n bemarkingsfonds op ‘n rand tot rand basis. Dit is slegs ‘n gedagte. Die gedagte word ook genoem dat ander lande soos Lesotho moet begin bydra vir bemarking aangesien hulle nou onregverdige voordeel trek uit ons bemarking. Hulle bokhaar word in SA verkoop. Gesprekke daaroor is reeds aan die gang. Volhoubare riglyne kan regoor die wêreld uitgebrei word sodat SA die middelpunt word van bokhaar in die wêreld. Indien daar werklik ‘n spesiale p r o jek is vir produsente sal die Trust beslis daarna kyk. Dit sal help as die Bedryf kan registreer as diensverskaffer vir die Staat. Die proses is al begin maar dit moet opgevolg word. . Die saamwerking tussen die bemarkingspan en die vervaardigers van bokhaarprodukte het tot gevolg gehad dat daar ‘n reuse bevordering in die kwaliteit van produkte oor die laaste 5 jaar ontwikkel het. Met die winkel in die nuwe gebou is dit nou die eerste keer dat daar ‘n “One- stop shop” is vir alle bokhaarprodukte onder een dak en dit is moontlik net die begin.
Aberdeen versoek dat die produsente weer fondse moet kry om predasie te help. Daar word gekyk om monitor plase te begin en boere word versoek om saam te werk om hierdie plase te vestig. Weer word versoek dat produsente projekte kan voorstel wat werklik volhoubaar is. Neil Viljoen lewer ‘n uitstekende praatjie oor die ongelooflike kennis wat hy reeds opgedoen het. Hy maak die syfers bekend van die monitor plase wat hy reeds doen en met die maatreëls wat produsente ingestel het. Daar word beplan om vir die angorabedryf monitor plase op die grond te stel. Die bestuur word weer herkies naamlik Mnre Bekker, De Klerk, Truter, Oelofse, Shires en Greeff. Die verkiesing van die Vise en President word gedoen deur Uitvoerende Kommittee en die Nuwe President is Mnr. Andries Greeff en Vise President is Mnr. Mark Shires. Die ramtelers versoek dat fondse beskikbaar gestel sal word om die nuwe DNA tegnologie toe te pas op die ramme. Die probleem is tans dat die ramtelers nie met hulle top ramme individueel kan dek nie en moet darem groepsdekking ...volg op bladsy 19

S arel talks S ustainability By Sarel Hayward
There are currently 1 200 active mohair producers in South Africa. So far, 234 of these farmers have taken part in the assessment of sustainable guidelines. 198 assessments have been done in the previous five years, with 36 new assessments this year. Farmers are motivated to take part in these assessments to promote the mohair industry, as well as to assure consumers that producers of mohair strive to farm in a sustainable manner. Although the mining of uranium and the exploiting of shale gas are two of the biggest threats to mohair production in the Karoo, the reduction of the planned uranium mining area by almost 90 % is a reason for hope. We will give our utmost support to the organisations fighting against these threats. The problem areas identified through the assessments were mainly the dosing of animals and storage of chemicals. Farmers must only dose when necessary, and try to identify infected goats by using methods such as the famacha system or egg counts taken on
Stud
a regular basis - though we know that this is not always practical. Chemicals must be kept in a safe place away from other products, and the storeroom must be locked at all times. From the assessments, it can be acknowledged that producers know what their carrying capacities are and make efforts to limit erosion and the deterioration of veld where problems may occur. The drought in some areas makes it difficult to apply effective rotational grazing, because livestock are moved between camps where there is still food left to eat. It has been found that most farmers ensure responsible control of vermin. I believe that farmers can remain positive and continue to create wealth by creating employment opportunities and making profits even in a rapidly changing environment.

Die volhoubare riglyne word gedoen deur Sarel Hayward. Skeergeriewe en skeerhuise is hoog op die agenda. Daar word gekyk na ander tipe skeer soos karretjies ens. Die vraag word gevra of die skeerders skoon is en hulle klere skoon is om te keer vir probleme soos brandsiek ens. Hy het reeds baie plaasbesoeke gedoen. Daar word gevra dat daar na nuwe sakke gekyk moet word aangesien daar probleme is. Tans is daar een grootte
sak. Kontrakteurs werk rof met sakke en dit bars. Wolhakkies werk nie goed daarop nie. Gevra word vir sak wat 80 kg kan insit aangesien die wolsak baie duur is. Daar word ook gevra of jong bokhaar ook 80 kg kan word. Pierre van der Vyver antwoord op die punt. Daar is ‘n nuwe dikker sak ontwikkel .Dit sal nou 200 mikron toe van 150 mikron af. Evert Vermeulen lig die feit uit dat die produsente nou die plastiek sakke toebind met rooi baal tou en dus besoedeling erger maak. Indien die groen polipropileen sak slegs een keer gebruik word is dit goed. Wanneer dit 2 of 3 keer gebruk word verbrokkel dit en dan vind besoedeling plaas. Met plastiek sakke is kostes gehalveer. Die makelaars beveel aan om “cable ties” te gebruik. Sakke is herwonne plastiek

Van ‘n koper oogpunt sal hulle nie peuter aan die gewigte nie. Hulle sal graag eerder net 100 kg wil aangebied wil word. Hoe kleiner die sak hoe minder doeltreffend is dit.
