Farmer’s Weekly visited farmer, PJ Hassard, on his Silvasands Farm in Hluhluwe, KwaZulu-Natal, to learn about how the adaptability of Brahman beef cattle genetics has benefitted PJ’s commercial beef enterprise. While on Silvasands Farm, Farmer’s Weekly was able to film PJ’s cattle going through a medicated plunge-dip for the purpose of killing off ticks that carry a variety of diseases that are harmful, and even potentially deadly, to cattle.
