Good day everyone.
Its been a busy time at the Dorper office, but we finished the 24 page Dorper appendix in the Landbouweekblad and there are good articles in it. The appendix is in this weeks Landbouweekblad (28 October 2011) and we already received numerous enquiries from Dorper farmers. Some of the advertisers called me and they received lots of phone calls too; so it seems that the appendix was a big success. I hope that we will be able to do it again next year.
Upington International Dorper Sale (2-3 November) is just around the corner and our next council meeting will also take place just before the sale (31 October and 1 November).
Some other interesting news is that Colene Grevelink was invited to judge the National Dorper Sale in Mexico in December. Good luck Colene, I know that you will make us proud!
We are also busy finalizing the date of next years Dorper International Show in Pretoria. The World Federation of Dorper Breeders members meeting will also take place next year during our Show and we look forward to welcome some of our International Dorper friends.
Dorperland club also held a very successful senior and junior dorper course and the Inspectors told me that they were impress with the knowledge of the students. Congratulations to everyone who successfully completed the course.
I hope to see you at Upington and I'm sure that after the council meeting there should be lots of time to chat with everyone.
Regards,
Attie
