I agree with Guka. This could have however been an interesting story but it is poorly written /researched. Even if we assumed that the farmer is milking half the herd (85 animals) it would mean that he is getting about 13 liters of milk per animal per day, which is nothing to brag about. It could however be that a very high proportion of the herd (probably 80%) are immature females, in which case I would consider him to be more of a breeder than a milk producer.

This guy only requires about 100 cows to be milkedat an average of 45 litres daily to sell 135,000 litres a month @ ksh 30 = 4m.
Now deduct expenses which could be about 2m I even think he is being very conservative with his profits!


@Julie,
Exactly my point.1M is "abuse" returns for such a big herd.....am also thinking,why would you want to keep the other unmilked 70?...Don't say it's for manure.smile



Perhaps they are the ones going for 140-160K per skull

Back to Kimiri's point.The "lighter" of the article had all the chance to point in the direction of the money.I stand to be collected.
Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm.
