So what is this all about?

I want to show you the care that these special animals enjoy on a wine farm.

We were amazed to see this, as I knew that there was water in the yellow tank. So come and let me show you how the well-trained guys go about their business.

There were six square tanks in the field and we were seated at a pop-up shop having some coffee. So I watched the tractor with the trailer rolling in, and I wondered what they were up to.

Here is a look at the tank below.

Well, the guys flipped the tanks over and they started to clean them. A meticulous process followed, as you will see below.

Each tank was flipped over, brushed out with that broom, then they put some water in the tank again, and flipped it over to rinse it.
Finally, they filled the tanks with water.

The Nguni herd arrived and they all headed for the fresh, clean, and cool water. I was told that they do this twice per day.

You can see how tame these animals are, and the staff knew exactly what to do. They are all well trained.

Finally, some hay bales were broken up and some guys went around putting the fresh hay out for the cattle.

It is so great to see man and beast working together, and we could only watch in awe. Nguni cattle have become scarce over the years, but the stock are now being built back up again. Long ago, their skins were used for shields during battle and for other purposes. Obviously, this is no longer the case and they are a real lovely breed. At times they will stick their head through the fence for small kids to pat them with squeals of delight.
I am not saying the Nguni cattle squeal with delight, but instead the little children squeal with delight :)

I hope you have enjoyed the photos.
