the cows so much and i call them by their names joy ,mukami and
lucia.I do Zero grazing which is so good for the Dairy farming as the
business ,i have planted nappier grass to my small farm and i do buy
Hays and molasses which i chop and mix them for the cows to produce
more milk,i have employed one servant who helps me around the farm.I
always sell my Milk at fair price and this gives me a competitive
edge,I also make sure my milk is clean and do not add water to make
it more.This has gained me trust on my clients and confident.I also
allow clients to take milk on credit so that they can pay at the end
of the month.

for the school fees for my siblings and kids and plan for the
future.Thank you very much for your kind support.
