TING BRAITHWAITE – DAMVIEW
En route to Ting Braithwaite ’ s Brahman stud on the farm Damview , newcomers to the area are struck by another fact : KZNians are tough . While newcomers don what amounts to Arctic survival gear , the locals sport spring outfits . To further stress the point : against the backdrop of snow on the Drakensberg Mountains hangs a hot air balloon in obviously very cold air – the higher the altitude , the colder it gets , non ? And the passengers are doing this for fun , they say ?
And to crown this toughness , a herd of majestic Brahman bulls nestle contently in a pasture alongside the dirt road – while firebreaks are being burnt not too far away .
If you need to form an impression of a Brahman farmer , Ting is a prime example : tall and tough-looking .

But how is the name Ting related to tall and tough ?
