The Boers faced devastating losses during these events. Forty-one men, fifty-six women, and 185 Boer children lost their lives,[711] alongside 252 Khoi-Khoi and Basutos, who accompanied the Boers, who were also killed. Entire families were wiped out. In some cases, the victims' bodies were horribly mutilated.[712] Tens of thousands of their sheep, cattle, and horses were stolen, and despite their counterattacks, they couldn't recover many of them.[713]
