Ostrich Farming Revival Firms in Oudtshoorn District
The ostrich, once a fashion centerpiece, shows revival potential as fall fashions call for feathers. Oudtshoorn, Cape Province hosts about 35,000 birds on 200 farms, yielding 75,000 pounds of feathers yearly with 40 percent exported to the United States and Britain. Highgate farm, a 300 acre operation, stands as one of the district’s largest.
