We built a semi-permanent house of 30 iron sheets. This was necessitated by the fact that our former house was tiny and overcrowded-it is the same house that we shared with our calves and therefore it was just a total mess! I am glad that we have a new house and the other one has remained solely to serve our calves. The construction project consumed the whole of my second transfer.
Describe the biggest difference in your daily life.
The biggest difference in my daily life is that currently, we live in a better environment. We no longer share the same house with our livestock and I consider this a great improvement to us-fresh air to breath and a cool environment to rest.
