The Meating Block

That is very true. For instance, when I was a young man, my father used to take pride in teaching us of the different color coats, how they were derived from the mix of this color and that color and I must say, it was intriguing to learn it as time went on. Knowing the colors and their combination outcomes is certainly a skill that should be passed down by those who are in the know, but what you saying is 100% true.

@MeatmasterBW Every culture has its own unique identities.our Botswana culture takes pride in the various coat colors of its cattle

In my culture we have over twenty colors if not more that identify the skin/coat of cows. Multiply those by two for male and female specificity and the same number of colors in between for further differentiation. As it gets more complex and tongue twisting, I am honestly not too keen to keep up with them. I have chose my lane and it has only two coat colors. The Black Angus and the Red Angus. 🤣🥰😍👊🏾

I totally understand from where you’re coming from. Nna am just glad I only have to deal with only two colors. I personally have guys from outside the country at multiple farms and I don’t have to teach anyone complex issues when I could be teaching other more important for the farm.

@MeatmasterBW Respectfully, not keeping up with them is how a culture dies.

Semen from these Bulls will soon be available if not already. Some of these bull warrant some serious conversations of the positive kind and those are the discussions you need to be around for when they happen.

AI is going to be the end of some of these Social Media platforms I tell you…! 🧐🫣

There seems to be a huge misunderstanding of the “visual” difference between a Boran and a Brahman. Having seen both breeds and semi-intimately acquainted to one by way of personal proximity to renowned breeders of the Brahman, I think I can confidently say; the two main differences are the ears and most shockingly the superior LARGER and TOWERING SIZE of the Brahman over the Boran. Brahmans are much taller and longer.

Finally..! There she is with her newly minted bundle of joy at hoof. A well rounded Bull Calf is our latest addition to our pure bred side and I can stand to once again attest to that Aberdeen Angus trait that I hold highly of “ease of calving”. After all these years we have never had to assist with a birth. Mother is doing as well as the calf. That marks our close to the season.

@wabpan As outrageous as it may sound, I can actually believe it..! 🫨

644mm for the season thus far 🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️

@grok @Grok, please delete the post and pretend I never even asked you this question. We will try again after a couple of weeks.

She is currently not a solid black, but the ring of black around her eyes, nose and black tail-tip already give away her true “to be” mature color. She will shed her calf coat after this coming winter season and eventually be that solid Angus Black heifer. She is sired by “MSB-Balance”, our current herd Sire, who is dropping us some beautiful top tier Black and Red Calves with Black being primary..!

@Agrieconom This is straight up a row..! Well done..!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😪

Two-Row (Paired Row) Planting of Maize Two-row planting is a method where maize is planted in pairs of rows that are close together, and then a larger space is left before the next pair of rows. Distance between the two rows in a pair:45 cm Distance between pairs: 90 cm Distance between plants in a row: 25cm ADVANTAGES 1. Better Use of Land The arrangement allows more plants per area while still giving enough space for growth 2. Easier Farm Operations The wide space between pairs allows: -easy weeding -fertilizer application -spraying -intercropping 3. Higher Yield Potential Because plants receive: -better sunlight -better air circulation -less competition for nutrients 4. Good for Intercropping Farmers can plant crops like: -beans -groundnuts -soybeans in the wide spaces between the paired rows. 4. Simple Example of Population With correct spacing, you can have about 44,000-53,000 maize plants per hectare, which is ideal for good yield

@ODA_HASSAN_ @_Gerenuk If you say so..! 👊🏾🤣😂🤣

@_Gerenuk @MeatmasterBW Those are Boran bulls Brahman bulls look Identical but with large slanting ears

Botswana has strategically positioned herself to potentially be the primary exporter of beef cattle genetics into Afrika. If executed properly with the right protocols developed flowing both ways, Afrika will see herself with access to both Semen and Embryos coming from both Government and Private Farmers’ who have for years invested heavily in not only top but elite genetics of various breeds from all over the world harvested from animals which importantly have proven themselves in the harsh Botswana climate. >i<

@_Gerenuk These are not Boran bulls..! They are Brahman bulls of the Bo’s-Indicus group of cattle. Bos indicus, commonly known as zebu or humped cattle, are a subspecies of domestic cattle originating from the Indian subcontinent of which the Boran is not but I could be mistaken.

@MeatmasterBW I am looking at a Boran. This breed is already an African breed and not indigenous to Botswana.

@Barrysta2k @matinyarare @enkudheni 🤣😂😅😂🤣 Let’s be patient with those who may be off the mark.👊🏾

@matinyarare @MeatmasterBW @enkudheni He is now tweeting about Chad 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Bibi’s ghost just talked about the killing of Iran intelligent chief,pls check if his ears are intact in the video 🤣🤣

All I know is Botswana Beef being amongst the best in the world when it comes to taste. People travel thousands of kilometers to have a taste of this quality of beef as developed for years through infusion of some of the best breeds from around the world. I don’t know much about Chad or Chad Beef but I can tell you a lot about Botswana beef and how it’s raised which is why it’s exported to some of the world’s most exquisite markets when talking about dining. Maybe Chad beef does the same, I don’t know. Am just talking about Botswana exporting her “quality” beef genetics to Africa and it definitely has nothing to do with National herd numbers. 👊🏾

@MeatmasterBW @enkudheni Chad has the biggest herd per capita in Africa which is made up of indigenous heritage cattle that are not vaccinated. Why should Botswana provide the genetics instead of Chad?

@MasieTiro Yes they are..! They’ve gone from boys to BULLS..! 🤓😘🫩🥰

@MeatmasterBW Ke tsone tsa US, maar ke a di rata tjo!

@DavePMoilwa Not Sure…! 👊🏾

@MeatmasterBW Excellent genetics there👌, is that a Limousin ko morago koo?
