COUNTING sheep is by no means confined to those that can’t fall asleep. Agri Mega Week 2011 in September will once again host this popular competition that will pit participants against one another in what will undoubtedly be a heated contest.
Despite possibly seeming a bit arbitrary at first, the intricacies and necessity of being able to accurately determine the number of sheep in a flock, often at a distance, and while moving, is both imperative and not to mention, particularly difficult.
This year’s competition will be presented and conducted under the watchful eye of Daan van Tonder, the dedicated Driekop Dewetsdorp Sheep Counting Officials, and BKB. Taking place on Friday, 16 September, at 09:00 sharp in the SAB-Arena at Mega Park, participants stand the chance to win fantastic cash prizes ranging from R1 000 to R5 000. Everyone, from experienced counters, upcoming and emerging producers, to farm workers and members of the public, are encouraged to come and try their eye, or fingers and toes, at this unique pastime. Entry is free! Phone 021 863 0701.
