Consultation Services
Ranchers have come to understand that each district and each farm differs from its neighbours. So while the Ranch Management training courses lay the foundation for progress through knowledge, the on-site consultation services that Johann Zietsman offers, are invaluable to the practical application of this knowledge.
Consultation generally focuses on the following elements although ranchers are welcome to lay other issues or problems on the table for Johann to address:
- Breeding an appropriate genotype. A blueprint is available for breeding a unique genotype (Veldmaster/Africarne) of cattle custom designed for specific conditions.
- Help in developing an appropriate breeding season restricted to 42 days. This enables effective AI — 80 - 90% of calves bred within the first 11 days.
- Developing a dramatic increase in the genetically determined fertility of a herd.
- Instituting an appropriate grazing management plan that results in increased profit/ha, increased return on capital invested, increased stocking rate and dramatically improved land.
