Loan Proposal

i plan to construct a zero grazing unit for My cows which has now increased to three cows. Two heifers and a bull. Currently they are staying in a poorly constructed cow shed with poor drainage system. this has reposed the animals to diseases such as mastitis. with proper housing i hope that the milk production will also go up. i also intend to construct a store for the animals feeds.
