About Me

I'm kiprono evans age 27.I cleared my secondary education in the year 2009 at the time Zidisha kicked off but didn't had a smartphone then.9 year down the line it has be hard starting dary farming due high cost of cows and fodder since I didn't had farm of my own.After one year I managed to raise some funds to lease a 1 acre farm and planted cabbages which gave ksh.40000.That's when I bought two cross breeds i raise for 2 years before they calf.their production was not pleasing hence not good profit.I sold them in the year 2015 and bought 1 high breed from a local farmer.This cow calf in 2016 June and have 12 months old heifer ready to be served by December 2017.What has boost my business is the demand for milk because residents like taking tea due low temperature and they don't take coffee. I have a tiny family a six old boy who wanna be a Doctor and a 1 month old girl.My spouse is PHO but currently don't have a job but help me in the farm.I spent most of my time of web researching of best farm practises.

My Business

I produce milk I sell locally and for domestic use.The residents use milk for making tea and making sour milk (mursik).I choice the business because I have passion for it. The business give me 14000-17000 a month as profit.I use the money for schools fee and and currently buying and assembling materials to built and a modern dairy unit. The money have enabled me build a semi permanent house for my family.

Loan Proposal

I will use part of the loan u will give me to buy dairy supplements for the yet to calf cow at 50 dollars and 10 dollars for calf pellets.this supplements will help my cow have strength during calving and enable it to produce more milk for the calf.The pellets will in turn help during weaning such that I will be accounting for all the milk. The remaining 40 dollars I will use it to construct a descent calf pen to improve the well being of the calf.I have in the past lost my calf owing to poor housing of the calf.this have cause alot of loss
