Colleen Jacobs van Douglas is nie net ’n vrou wat met Bonsmaras boer nie. Nee, sy besit die gawe van stoetmeesterskap. Haar pa het die waarde van fyn waarneming al vroeg by haar vasgelê. Wanneer sy raadop is met ’n siek bees, dink sy bloot aan wat sy vir een van haar kinders sou doen. Dié moederlike instink maak van haar ’n uitstekende veeboer.

Die meeste Suid-Afrikaanse plase word deur families bestuur – byvoorbeeld die Bruwer-familie van Douglas in die Noord-Kaap. Landbouweekliks besoek hulle dié week. Pa Vickie en sy drie seuns, Gerhard, Hannes en Tokkie, het die kuns vervolmaak om saam te werk. Elkeen kry egter ook genoeg ruimte om sy eie boerderydoelwitte uit te leef.

Regular Vodacom Bulls lock combination, RG Snyman and Lood de Jager, will reunite in Durban on Saturday, when the Vodacom Bulls will lock horns with the Cell C Sharks in Round Seven of the Vodacom Super Rugby tournament.
Snyman last played for the Vodacom Bulls in Hamilton a month ago and De Jager in Christchurch three weeks ago before injury broke up the partnership that played together so impressively in the opening four rounds of the competition.
With his premier lock pairing available for selection again, Vodacom Bulls coach, John Mitchell, moved Jason Jenkins to the bench and Ruben van Heerden out of the match 23 for this important clash.
Vodacom Bulls captain, Burger Odendaal, said they could not afford to lose momentum again during the next couple of weeks. “We started well, then lost our way and with us bouncing back nicely against the Stormers, it is time to kick on. The week’s rest has done all of us well, so we are keen to go and record a win in Durban. We have the players and the game plan to be very competitive against a strong Sharks team.”
The team (with Vodacom Super Rugby caps and points) is: Warrick Gelant (24, 35), Johnny Kotze (25, 20), Jesse Kriel (51, 40), Burger Odendaal (c; 37, 15), Divan Rossouw (5, 10), Handre Pollard (37, 333), Ivan van Zyl (8, 0), Hanro Liebenberg (24, 15), Thembelani Bholi (20, 5), Marco van Staden (6, 5), Lood de Jager (55, 15), RG Snyman (29, 10), Trevor Nyakane (85, 15), Adriaan Strauss (149, 85), Pierre Schoeman (30, 15). Replacements: Jaco Visagie (26, 5), Lizo Gqoboka (32, 10), Frans van Wyk (7, 0), Jason Jenkins (32, 25), Roelof Smit (19, 5), Andre Warner (6, 5), Manie Libbok (2, 0), Duncan Mathews (6, 15).
•The Vodacom Bulls are undefeated in their last five games against the Sharks (W4, D1); their longest ever run without a loss against them.
•Adriaan Strauss will extend his Vodacom Super Rugby record to 150 games, the most of any South African in the tournament.
VODACOM BULLS AND BLUE BULLS TO RECONNECT WITH CLUB COMMUNITIES
The Vodacom Blue Bulls Currie Cup squad accompanied by John Mitchell and a number of Vodacom Super Rugby players will have three training sessions at clubs in the Pretoria region.
According to Mr Willem Strauss, President of the Blue Bulls Rugby Union, this forms part of a strategy to reconnect the team with the community. “We want to create heroes and role models for our club communities and supporters, and we hope that this strategy will contribute,” Strauss elaborated.
The team will be training at the various clubs, which will be followed by a signing session and an opportunity for the club players and coaches to interact with Mitchell and the professional players.
Trainings sessions will be held at Tuine Rugby Club on 19 April 2018, Noordelikes Rugby Club where Dragons are based on 3 May 2018 and at Centurion Rugby Club on 17 May 2018. We trust that this will lead to more training sessions at clubs in future.

Landbouweekliks kuier dié week by mnre. Etienne van Wyk van Marydale en Dries Wiese van Loxton in die Noord-Kaap. Etienne het op Dries se plaas grootgeword. Van kleins af was Etienne soos ’n kind in Dries se huis en bakkie, en al wat hy wou doen was om te boer. Ons kyk na Etienne se reis

Landbouweekliks besoek vandeesweek mnr. Nick Serfontein, voorsitter van die Sernick-groep, naby Edenville in die Vrystaat.
Serfontein het met dekades se toewyding en harde werk sy merkwaardige sakeryk opgebou. Hy glo die Suid-Afrikaanse veebedryf het hope potensiaal en dat klem op netto voerinname waardevol vir dié bedryf kan wees.
