What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my third transfer on ploughing and growing sugarcane in my two acre piece of land, and I am hopeful that I will benefit from it when I harvest. I also constructed a cattle shed. They used to sleep outside, and they were always prone to diseases. This is no longer the case as they are now well sheltered. The remaining amount I spent on buying sheep to add to my livestock.
