There seems to be no limit to what these stalwart beasts of burden can do. The weekly clean-up has now been extended to daily clean-up. The oxen work in pairs rotating every lunch time.
Their duties are general haulage of anything that needs to go from A to B. The full 12 oxen span will be working daily from Friday onwards to entertain the Kalahari Sunrise guests.
Our wonderful traditional Afrikaner cattle continue to delight visitors to the farm.
There are not many places left in South Africa where traditional Afrikaner oxen are bred, trained, and used.
