What did you spend your third transfer on?
This last transfer has helped me boost my poultry farming, I have extended the house where the house where the chicken sleep and also added some chicken to 400 chicken from 150 chicken. The poultry farming has helped me earn an income because am able to supply some hotels in the nearby town and also sell to people in the village the remaining money I bought sheep to rear and that is how I used my last transfer.
