What did you spend your third transfer on?
I spent my last transfer on 7 sheep( 24,500 KES) and 2 young bulls (20,000 KES). The reason is to multiply the sheep , and raise the bulls for sale because I am a widow and my children are currently young but I need to begin early are create a source from which I can raise money to manage their Secondary Education in the near future.
