Mount Camdeboo’s Sable breeding project continues to show increasing signs of success. Following on last year’s outstanding calving season with 90% females, the cows started calving in mid-September with 4 female and 1 male calf dropping to date. Gestation is 230 – 240 days; calves are about 15kg. Interestingly, sable cows conceal their young for a period of 2 – 4 weeks and the weaning age is 240 days (about 8 months). The calves have already formed a nursery group which is good to see.
