Farmer Angus is a South African regenerative farmer who runs a 650-hectare farm, focusing on farming methods that strengthen rather than degrade the natural environment.
He takes a ‘controversial’ stance on foot and mouth disease (FMD) vaccines, arguing they won't work because the real problem isn't the alleged virus but poor cattle management.
In his recent article, he contends that bad diets, unsanitary conditions, and stressful environments destroy cattle's immune systems, making them
vulnerable to disease, whilst the pharmaceutical industry profits from treating symptoms rather than addressing the root causes through proper husbandry and natural grazing practices.
