Farming News - Father and son team, Roelf Snr & Roelf Jnr Jordaan
April 2008

Father and son team, Roelf Snr & Roelf Jnr Jordaan, seen here releasing Springbok into an area known as the old Game Camp at Sandstone Estates. This area is immediately adjacent to our locomotive shed and was originally a fenced off game area.  The farm released the game, took down the fence, and is currently introducing new blood.  Both Blesbok and Springbok, South
Africa's national icon, are being released.  There are no fences and we rely on these animals to detect the fact that they are safe and protected at Sandstone.  Contrary to people's expectations they have no negative impact whatsoever on arable crops, such as Soya beans etc.
