SAGenetics is a company that I started because of my passion for sheep breeding and the continent of  Africa.  I believe that the South African sheepbreeds has a lot to offer the rest Africa as well as the rest of the world.

With my skill as a veterinarian, I would like to offer my help and services to all sheepfarmers in my own country of South Africa.  I would also like to offer my services to sheepbreeders from other parts of the world to source good and sound genetics of sheepbreeds that play an important part of the South African agriculture.

These breeds include the Dorper, Meatmaster, SAMM, Merino, Ille de France, Afrino, Karakul, Van Rooi, Boergoat, Kalahari Red, Savannah, Persian, Damara, Dohne Merino, Merino Landskaap and Dormer.

I have completed the Junior Dorper Course as well as a Senior Dorper Course in South Africa.  I attended a dorper course with Raymond Reid in Canada during 2006.  Raymond is an inspector and judge in South Africa.  During August 2006 I completed my second senior dorper course in Namibia.  

I would like to thank all the farmers, breeders and friends around the world who so kindly agreed that I could use photos or video clips that was taken on their farms. A very sincere thanks to companies or individuals who gave me permission to use their articles.  It is greatly appreciated and I know the information is very valuable to anyone who enjoys small stock breeding and farming. 

Please add comments or events in your country or area on the chat forum.  I would also like to encourage more farmer stories as it is really interesting to hear about how people farm in differant areas around the world.
