WATERFALL FARMS

Pieter Michau is a 7^th generation farmer and a 4^th generation Angora farmer. He manages a successful mixed farming operation on 12 000 hectares of land with some 4 500 Angora goats. Average rainfall on the farm varies from 12 to 20 inches – mainly due to the significant height above sea level variances (between 2800 and 6000 feet) on the farm. Pieter regularly features high in the quality mohair clip stakes – evidence of a motivated Camdeboo quality focused management style.
