PRODUCER FOCUS
The 2018 Hinterland National Interbreed Bull Champion!
Irma de Villiers and Raymond de Villiers with their trophy
and Hinterland's Phillip Lee are featured here.
is what carried him through. He is defi-
nitely a bull with strong muscles and he
carries a lot of meat. Raymond added: "I
did something right here.”
His sudden fame also gained momen-
tum on social media - he received a lot
of friendship requests on Facebook in a
very short time - “the number of people
who know me now is amazing!” He is also
known in Senwes circles as a Senwes
Credit and Certisure client.
The title is not for him only. The
Hinterland Interbreed Bull Champion prize
opens doors for the industry and it makes
one excited to show and to lend prestige
to the shows.
He has four children, Lizette, Pieter,
Almiré and Ray - only Almiré seems to be
a potential successor for her father, since
she is very involved in youth shows.
His advice to other breeders is to
love what they do. If you like the breed
which you work with, you will be suc-
cessful. The next step? I would really
love to win the Hinterland Interbreed Cow
Championships as well.
Congratulations on this huge achieve-
ment Raymund! Senwes Scenario shares
your joy. Keep on breeding!
