I also bought a barbed wire that I want to use to fence my homestead and with that I will no longer have problems with neighbor's livestock for trespassing in my compound .As my kitchen garden will be safe. Using 16000 KES,I bought a calf that i will us to pay my wife's dowry according to our traditions . I also bought food using the remaining amount."
