These two ewes formed, in a manner of speaking, the rock on which the Maize Valley Savanna Stud was built. The Maize Valley farming concern also includes a Boer goat and Kalahari Red stud, summer crop production and a Brangus stud. Since the accidental purchase of the Savanna ewes, the Maize Valley Savanna Stud has gone from strength to strength and has become known as one of the top performing Savanna studs in the country. In June this year, the Savanna goat ram Maize Valley Savanna 95230071 fetched the highest price of R400 000 at the second Royal Genetics’ Production Sale held at the Castle De Wildt Showgrounds. Show participationTaking part in shows forms an important tool in the management of the Maize Valley Stud.
