"I have a pastural land that is able to accommodate and feed two dairy cattles adequately. I have managed to subdivide the land into fragments and cultivate some natural and planted grass on it. I do also have one indigenous dairy cattle that graze on these fields but produces less milk that is only for subsistence use. Receiving this money means that I will be able to add another dairy exotic cattle breed that will not only supplement my family with milk for subsistence use, but also for commercial use. I foresee getting a surplus of 10 litres of milk per day which I will be able to sell at 30 shillings a litre. I will use the proceeds from the sale to cater for other needs of my family."
