Get rich or die trying

Hi u 1st have to know which breed u need.-ayshire,holstein,jersey. I d recomend the first 2. Ayshire has thicker milk and more versatile while the second has more milk but light m are more susceptible to disease.there is a farm in naiv called marula got good breed but a bit xpe-140k for a served cow.u could also get brokers to search in githunguri but b wary of seller disposin their rejects. All the best in ur endevour.by the way post if u get 1 im also interested in increasin my kaherd

hey

Where can I get the boran breed?

@Mungaits,
I've been interested in dairy farming for a very long time and has done a bit of research; if you have the facilities to keep a minimum of three cows,you are set-up to make above average income for life,I've found it to be the best business to get into.

Critical is how you approach it ... as you are doing,get the best milk cows possible and build the best infrastructure possible ... if you have access to clean water and electricity,that would be great,if not,its ok, Solar panels can do well too,think of a dairy farming ecosystem,with sustainable feed ( green house or something towards that) plan it out,and start with what you can afford and by the time you complete,you'll be pleased ... critical is having a piece of land and labour to do dairy farming. Good luck!

the diary cows go for around 55000 to 90000 around nairobi and kitale.depending with how many calves it has had.and they produce about 16 litres to 35 litres.just email lexy83us@yahoo.com.
