What are you planning to spend your transfer on?
I would like to buy another dairy Cow because it has the capacity of producing large quantities of milk for sale and consumption.
What is the achievement you are proudest of?
My proudest achievement was owning a dairy Cow because I believe most people cannot raise and maintain it.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
My biggest hardship is lack of access to capital to expand my dairy farming business because it's my main source of income.
What is the happiest part of your day?
I'm happiest in the morning when milking my cow because I get large quantities of milk for sale and consumption.
