GAME IS UNDOUBTEDLY THE
FOCAL POINT IN THE FARMING OPERATIONS OF THE
CROUS BROTHERS. THESE
DRIVEN BROTHERS ARE
KOBUS (49), DAVID (47) AND
RIAAN (43). THEIR SUCCESS
IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT
THEY HAVE BEEN FARMING
JOINTLY SINCE 1992 AND
PARTICULARLY DUE TO A
DECISION 14 YEARS AGO, IN
2002, TO CONVERT TO GAME
FARMING, WHICH THEY ARE
NOW REAPING THE BENEFITS
FROM.
T
hey grew up on a farm and,
according to them, it is a
huge privilege to run a joint farming operation. They add that their
father Viljee and mother Wilma
taught them everything they know
- they learnt from their parents'
example. The wagon wheel at the
entrance to the farm Wilgerboom
speaks of hard work - which is
what they do.
FIRST AUCTION IN FEBRUARY
Their first game auction, which
will be held at Sun City on 25
February, is a huge step for the
Crous brothers. They have been
preparing for this auction for the
past three years. 740 head of game
will be auctioned, which include
sable antelope, buffalo and lion,
to mention but a few of the large
number of species. This auction
The Crous Brothers added rhinos to their list of
species 8 years ago and lions 5 years ago.
