I am amazed at how time
flies. You have to enjoy every day. The following quote is in my office:
"Do what your passion is and you
won't have to work one day in your life."
Once a year after the show I try to
download new photo's on the website as well as news regarding the Kalahari
Red industry.
I am speechless about how quick the
years have passed by. The Kalahari Red breed is now a breed with many stud
breeders and it is truly a beautiful goat. Congratulations to all the breeders
who helped to improve the breed so fast. After the World Championship held
in Lichtenburg, I once again realized what an achievement it was to
improve the breed in only 16 years to what it is now. Our breed is not only
productive, they are beautiful too. In general, the bonestructure of the
breed improved a lot. We can still work on the hindquarters. Our numbers
increases the whole time and there are still new breeders entering the market.
We are in a very exciting part of growth
in the industry. After an article was published in the Farmers Weekly in
January 2010, I had so many enquiries from people of Africa-countries
who are interested in the Kalahari Reds. People from Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique,
Nigeria as well as Botswana contacted me. I think there is a big future
in Africa for our goats.

The hard work,
ethic and extreme dedication to quality and improvement which inspired Jordania
Embryo and Live Export Centre to begin its quest is just what will keep
it ahead of the field. For many, many years to come.
