OUR FOUNDATION NEWS<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n Fattening or Cattle Breeding at Kelimutu Ecolodge<\/b><\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n The Weddings must be over!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n In Flores, the Bride Price, or \u201c<\/span>Belis<\/span><\/i>\u201d, is usually one or more male \u201c<\/span>Sapi Bali<\/span><\/i>\u201d (Bali Cattle). The Kelimutu Crater Lakes Ecolodge Agricultural section has only just now been able to find suitable cattle for the Conservation program 2.1, for fattening or breeding.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Sapi Bali<\/span><\/i> are actually <\/span>Bos Sundiacus<\/span><\/i>, cattle originating in the Sunda geographical region, and perfectly suited to the extremes of climate. They fatten on what is available, and the females can save themselves in bad conditions by losing a foetus.<\/span><\/p>\r\n The Bali Cattle at the land of Kelimutu Ecolodge<\/span><\/i><\/p>\r\n The normal way of looking after cattle here is <\/span>cut and carry<\/span><\/i>, the owner doing all the walking\u00a0 looking for fodder, bringing it to the animal which contentedly does nothing but munch.<\/span><\/p>\r\n The Kelimutu animals will also be tethered out on Lodge land, watered at the river.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n One of the animals is a handsome two year old, a much sought after black Sapi Bali, with white rear. He may be a possible sire for the breeding herd envisaged.<\/span><\/p>\r\n We thank our donors, especially Tom Mann, who runs thousands of cattle in Queensland.<\/span><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
