Mpumalanga farmer in critical condition after buffalo attack

A farmer was airlifted to a specialist hospital in Johannesburg after he was attacked by a buffalo on a farm in Wakkerstroom, Mpumalanga on Saturday.

Other farmers rushed the man to a doctor’s room where he was stabilised by paramedics, Watco Emergency Service spokesperson Jan-Henk van Vuuren said.

"The exact cause and events leading to the attack will still be investigated but according to a witness the farmer attempted to tranquilize the buffalo before the attack."

Hope he recovers!
 
If he wasn't trying to tranquilize him with at least 300 grains of copper-jacketed lead, well, that was his first mistake.

Out of all the different color variations of Impala the black Impala just stands out with its beautiful pitch black hide.

Impala is one of the animals you will see all over Africa.
You can see them in herds of a 100 plus together.

This excellent ram was taken with one of our previous client this past season.
