If you need a super dairy cow producing close to 50 lts , visit Hon Murungaru Amboni farm. Just kshs 0 .5M for a single 6months pregnant heifer. Only problem the waiting list.

@B,The best way to grow your dairy project is to start with some low yield low risk and then gradually improve your breed as you learn the practice. If you buy a high yield and you are not good at feeding, disease management etc it will let you down big time. Avoid those "supercows" unless you are equally skilled on dairy management

@tokyo you are right, i own 6 cows and 4 calves, i therefore have personal experience on dairy farming.

My advice to novice farmers-Never buy those super cows,start small with the ordinary freshians and others, upgrade them slowly otherwise you will lose your investment.

A key promise in the jubilee manifesto is free milk to school children with supply outsourced to county based farmer co-operatives. This will definately starve the big processors enough raw milk meaning the farm gate prices will head north.

A heifer from murungaru farm going for 0.5m and producing 40 litres per day @ 45/- translates to gross income of kes.54,000 p.m. Throw in the pedigree calf and the maths start adding up.
