Unfortunately our tractor broke down and after investigating all options, decided it was not economically viable to repair and decided to acquire another one. Our preferred option was to acquire a decent second-hand one. Unfortunately we were unable to find an appropriate one and were left with no option other than acquiring a new one. We were very fortunate in that we acquired a 4x4 Landini in November for the price of a 2x4 as no stock of these models were available in South Africa. This resulted in us purchasing a brand new tractor that should last us for many years
Fishing
With improved fishing on the estate, we plan to do 4 stockings in 2018 each of approximately 200kg of fish.
The first stocking is planned for March, the next stocking is planned for June/July and will be brown trout, then the 3rd stocking will be a trophy stocking, and the 4th stocking will be done just before December at the end of the year.
A reminder to all Home Owners, please remember to fill in your catch forms on the back of your gate pass, this helps us plan future stockings and get a clearer indication of the state of the fishing on the estate.
