Ditiro Mmolotsi, the demo farm manager has done a wonderful job of managing our smallstock herd. The farm has reached a stage where it can sustain itself, the goatherd has grown and 7 male goats are ready to be sold. The money from the sales will be used to buy different things needed at the demo farm like vaccines, goat pellets and lucerne. In February and March, all the goats were dewormed and dipped. In 2013, we have only lost one goat in February due to a snake bite.
A project is underway to plant lucerne grass seeds to serve as supplementary feed for the goats during the dry season. The demo farm has 5 puppies that are under training with our goats and once ready, they will be given to local farmers around the Ghanzi area. CCB continues to use the farm to showcase recommended simple farming techniques to protect livestock and improve livelihoods.
