Bosveldboerbokklub

History

The first Bosveldboerbokklub was established in 1964 Jan Segers was the club's, very first President. The club was started in Louis Trichardt where the most of the 6 members were living. Jan Segers was followed by Jan Fourie. The club dissolved in 1969.

In 1980, the club was started again in Ellisras under leadership of Mr. Hans Nel, who changed its name to the "Noord en Noordwes Boerbokklub". They used Rustenburg as a central point to hold regional shows and auctions. Stefan Louwrens was his secretary at the time. Piet Roets took over after Hans Nel resigned.

“Sentraal Binnelandse Boerbokklub” was established in November 2003 and it was decided to change the club’s name again due to the loss of the Northwest region of the borders.

The name was changed back to the "Bosveldboerbokklub" in 31/05/2005 when Tobie Fourie took over matters with his secretary Pine Petser at his side.

Since then we had such great men as Johan Fourie and Jan Hoffman at the steer, before giving it over to Joubert Fourie, who is currently our president. With his team, they have been able to work it UP to a staggering 50 fully paid members.

We have a very full Agenda with regards to auctions, giving our members quite a variety between Rustenburg, Warmbaths (Bela-bela), Ellisras (Lephalale) Pretoria and Polokwane, we have something for everyone in South Africa to attend. On our auctions we also reach very high average selling prices. This means that its definitely worth your while.
Our Shows are also very well supported. We have managed to make several appearances at the World Show and have not left empty handed in recent years. Our year-end function is also supported well, by its Members.

We understand that everyone has to start somewhere; therefore we pride ourselves in the 2 junior goat management courses we present each year. These courses are very educational and there’s always something new to lean some people even do them more than once!

We are proud to announce a growth of approximately 15% in 2009 and we hope to see that number double in the near future.
