Kerneels

Kerneels is loved by Charne and Braham who has quickly become an indispensable part of farm life. With a natural instinct for herding and a calm confidence around animals, Kerneels is currently undergoing focused training to manage livestock — a job that demands both skill and patience. He takes it all in stride, combining sharp focus with a playful spirit that makes him a joy to have around.

Charne and Braham have embraced life with this remarkable boy, and they’re excited to soon welcome a sibling for Kerneels from the OBT Family — a new partnership we know will be just as rewarding.
