- we have to hurry to get to a buffalo once it has fallen over because if it lies on its side too long it swallows its tongue and suffocates
- vets on hand to check for TB and Corridor disease
- lending a helping hand stabilising the inoculated beast so it doesnt topple over
- "walking" (rather tug-of-war) a drugged, 800kg animal into a truck
- cost for bulls sold R70k
- cost for cows sold R15 to R25k
