Introduction
Boesmanland, located west of Kenhardt, is a vast and rugged region in the Northern Cape, renowned for its expansive plains, red sandy soils, and resilient vegetation. This remote yet captivating landscape, shaped by low rainfall and resilient plant life, has long supported small-stock farming, particularly Dorper and Meatmaster sheep.
