@Elgin
2 things, wachana na red maasai kabisa otherwise dec utakuwa hapa ukilia vile bei ni mbaya. pia usikanyange suswa hiyo soko ya mifugo, otherwise broker watakuwa na field day na wewe.(if you must go to suswa, tafuta nguo(matambara na gumboots zimechapa uvae)
Ningekwambia uende soko ilbisil(traders come even from tz so the prices are good) ama pia marmanet(the drought hizo sides za baringo will guarantee you good prices.)

This had crossed my mind. I think the best way is to buy from neighbours and build the flock gradually.

Mwarimo is looking forward venturing in the above project, with the short mid break, kesho naland Naivasha na kasee(Sheep man) nimetoa Kitui. Want to start with kitu 40 females and 2 'Machines'. So Friday naenda Suswa kutafuta hizo bidhaa. Kichaka ya kulisha iko. A hit or a miss wadau?

@Aviator , kuja upeane mawaidha ,did you recover your livestock. Ama mwalimo apitie kitui kwa mganga ?

Hiyo 18k ni bei ya young ng'ombe ndume is so many places in Kenya.

Good informative thread Mwalimu.... the cost of keeping pigs is becoming uneconomical because of feeds, planning to downgrade..I think I can slowly try your idea and start with few.... even if it's for keeping the compound preoccupied

@Aviator , kuja upeane mawaidha ,did you recover your livestock. Ama mwalimo apitie kitui kwa mganga ?

Actually i was laughing at @Aviator not knowing that i would be the next victim.Zangu walifagia zote 17 of them in one night na hakuna mtu aliskia.

 

[SledgeHammer]

Can the milk be consumed?

Recently Kitui South mbuzi zinaibiwa sana, probably juu ya hio highway. My inlaws pia walifagiliwa zote.

Pole.
Cattle thieves are the best description of the word 'Stealthy''
Sijui walijifunza kuiba ng'ombe shule gani ?
Wana chukwa mali ya mtu na hakuna mtu hata mmoja husikia
