    15 May 2024

    Karan Beef, through The Karan Beef Academy, has published an excellent educational video series designed to provide essential cattle farmer training to the future commercial farmers of South Africa.

    This 10-part series aims to equip aspiring and existing cattle farmers in South Africa with the knowledge and skills to enhance profitability and succeed in the ever-growing beef cattle market. It is available in English, isiXhosa, and isiZulu.

    “In episodes 6 we will look at some of the more common syndromes of illnesses that occur in cattle, how to identify them, and how to treat them. We will also discuss the importance of vaccinations as a preventative measure against disease. Finally, we will cover the importance of an effective parasite control programme, which should be applied annually.”

    Here is the rest of the series: Karan video series
