It also has good proportions of river veld to Karoo veld and is ideal for the breeding and finishing off of sheep and goats. A small herd of cattle may also be kept to take advantage of the abundant grass in the Moordenaar’s and Sunday’s River-courses and on the low hills. During the last five years the fencing and water infrastructure has been extensively upgraded and developed, and together with the open terrain, makes for easy farm management.
