First it was the Bothas. Then came the Van Stadens. Today it’s the Le Rouxes. Since title and deed was registered to Johannes Jurie Botha six generations ago in the year of 1865 the first families packed their wagons and guns and necessities and herded their flock of Afrikaner cattle from the main farm of Elandsfontein in the district of Derby in the Western Transvaal for an adventure packed trip of over hundred miles and a weeks long stay on their Bushveldt farm of Kromdraai to allow the cattle to graze on the sweet and nutritious grass during the harsh winter months. During this time the family had only two responsibilies: guarding their cattle against many a predator like lions and leopards and replenishing their stock of biltong for the months to come. So started an over hundred and fifty years old tradition that’s still practiced by the family.
