Game Farm in Cradock

Clifton. Clifton, 1620 ha Game Farm (4 titles and 2,4 m fenced with CAE) can be found West of Cradock on the upper reaches of the Great Fish River. This River creates a green belt of Acacia Karoo thorn trees, river willow with many sweet Karoo grasses lining its banks.

At present there are about 52ha of irrigation lands planted to a mix of lucerne and grass pastures.10 ha of fish river water use is registered for irrigation purposes and 19 420m for storage from the good river flow. Irrigation is also provided by four boreholes (1 on Eskom and 3 on solar) and 1 river suction solar pump (total 85m per hour). Irrigation is mostly via about 270 draglines, a few permasets, and a small pure lucerne land under drip irrigation (1.7ha). 13 ha of the 52 ha is not fenced. An application to DWS is pending for the balance of the water rights for all the lands. There are numerous furrows and lands contours so most of the lands can be flood-irrigated as well.
