"The achievement that am most proud of is the cow that I purchased last year after selling part of cereals that we had grown for subsistance.
At 15000 Kshs last year,I hope to take care of it until its value shoots to kshs 30000 then I will resell and buy back two or three new ones when prices will be favourable."
