AFTER tasting success
at last year’s Royal
Agricultural Show,
Danie Theron and his
mum, Delien, were
back in Pietermaritzburg this week
to show their Boer goats at the
Showgrounds.
The trip from Bethal, in Mpumalanga,
proved well worthwhile for
Theron, who runs the Moedig
Boerbok Stoet, whose huge ram
was judged to be this year’s RAS
Supreme champion.
The goat was also the senior
champion during the regionals.
Theron was rewarded with a
Standard Bank cash prize of
R2 000, rosette and ribbon, the
Durban Wool & Mohair Brokers
Trophy and a Royal Show medallion,
ribbon and rosette.
He also bred the reserve to
the Supreme Champion Ewe on
show, and returns to his stud with
a Standard Bank cash prize of
R1 000, rosette and ribbon, the
Corriedale Sheep Breeders Society
Floating Trophy and a Royal
Show rosette.
The Supreme champion ewe
goat, who was also the winner of
the senior category in earlier judging,
was bred by Kobus Lotter of
Doornpoort Genetics from Willowmore
in the Eastern Cape.
He received the Standard Bank
cash prize of R2 000, a rosette
and ribbon, the Durban Wool
and Mohair Brokers Trophy and a
Royal Show medallion, ribbon and
rosette.
Lotter also took home R1 000
from Standard Bank, a ribbon and
rosette, the Cedric Hart Floating
Trophy and a Royal Show rosette
for having the reserve to the
Supreme champion ram on show.
His ram had earlier been named
best junior animal.
