The Biedouw Boergoat Stud, near Clanwilliam in the Biedouw valley is situated on one of the oldest farmsteads in the country. This is a hardy environment with dry summers and has a very low winter rainfall. In our program of 6 April, Joubert van der Merwe Senior tells us more about the history of the farm, and how they managed to keep on farming in these harsh conditions. Joubert has one of the finest Boergoat Studs in the country. He talks about selection and his dream to breed a world champion Boergoat.
