Another successful community project was the Paterson NG Kerk auction which Hobson & Co held on Saturday. 462 cattle were sold on the sale where a portion of the commission earned is donated to the church to run the local parish.
The continued good season is resulting in there being plenty of good quality stock on offer at all local auctions. Prices on slaughter cattle still remain high but weaner calf prices have dipped even further as the water crisis deepens in the north and fodder and maize prices skyrocket. The Caledon River is now a mere trickle and the second largest cattle feedlot in the country, Sparta Beef has only two months water supply left if significant rain does not fall shortly. Farmers only have two weeks left before it is too late to plant maize so it is crucial that it rains soon in the OFS.
