  1. I'm from Natal midlands so looks similar. Just cold and wet version.
  2. It was in Frensham. It's super muddy at the moment. Lots of flooding in some lower lying areas.
  3. ditto for me. Cattle or sheep. Problem though if you dont have a big herd you have a long payback time and need a cash crop to keep you going between sales. I lived for 20 years on a sugar estate and most farmers supplimented with a bit of timber. I live in Natal Midlands. Perfect country for it. I would never go dairy though. Those guys have a tough time. A lot of locals are going for chickens but again a lot of PT involved and you have to go large scale to make it viable. Stock theft is also a big problem in Kzn and close to the Lesotho border is worse. A local sheep farmer reckons there hardly a day he isn't having to chase people off the farm trying to scoop his sheep. granted its on a busy road on the way to Lesotho. I can only comment on my experience of local conditions. I dont know what crop farmers in Free state/Gauteng experience. Also game farming seems to be popular now days.
