The few cattle and small stock left on the vast southern ranch where he farms on rented land, has been dying off like flies and if not for aid from the organisation, Namibia Farmers Drought Aid, his losses would have been bigger by now. As of this week, he counted in the vicinity of 300 small stock lost, and around 30 head of cattle.<br \/>He explained that government officials told him to his face there is no chance of help from that source. The Dare to Care offer to buy subsidised feed is also now beyond his reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-slideshow aligncenter\" data-effect=\"slide\"><div
