The Cleanskin Sheep Symposium that was held on 18 and 19 February was regarded as a big success. The attendance was so great that eventually they had to deny access to some people as the building was to full. There was media coverage everywhere. Various breed representatives where given the opportunity on speaking in front of the large audience. The Meatmaster was undoubtedly the breed that extracted the most interest.
There was a lot of media coverage given to Mr. Clynton Collett (Meatmaster breed representative) , from radio to TV. Their is without any doubt a big future for the Meatmaster in Australia and world wide.
We the Meatmaster Society of South Africa would like to thank Mr. Collett for the effort and time he took going to this Symposium, representing the Meatmaster and doing so out of his own pocket.

SA Meatmaster Breeders trip to Namibia. (Finished)
In GRÜNAU was die Meataster dag gehou by Mnr. Janie du Toit. Dit was ons eerste dag van aanbieding en ons was totaal verras deur die hoeveelheid mense wat opgedaag het en die waare belangstelling in die Meatmaster Ras.
In Maltahöhe was ons ontvang deur Mnr. Johnnie Hannekom en Mnr. Nico Bronkhorst wat die dag vir ons gereel het. Hierso was ook ons grootste aantal mense van so 45. Hierso sit die belangstellendes en luister na 'n praatjie met 'n aanbieding van Mnr. Danie Visser. Hierso was ook groot opgewondenheid van belangstellendes en somige het weer nuwe ywer gekry vir skaapteeling.
Baie dankie aan Mnr. Willem Steenkamp en familie wat die dag vir ons gereel het. Dit was ook ons laaste dag in Namibië en seker ook die warmste in die tyd wat ons daar was. Nie te min het boere weereens opgedaag en ons veras met hul teenwoordigheid, belangstelling en vrae.
Ons wil aan almal wat ons hierso ondersteun het net baie dankie sê en ons hoop ons kon julle weer ywerig maak vir skaap teeling. Ons het ook geleer dat selfs 'n pragtige land soos Namibië ook sy eie, unieke uitdaagings het en so vir ons net weer bewys die nodigheid vir 'n ras soos die Meatmaster.
