Why I haven’t lost a cow to thieves. When I was starting my farm last year, my biggest worry as a young farmer was losing a cow to theft. At least every farmer knows how this feels. So I looked around and bought a 4G solar camera and installed it at the kraal.

Why i can never keep my money in the bank.
This is what i do with extra cash and it works for me.
I buy these small boys at 800-950k each from neighbors. With 10m you can get 10-12 bulls. I take them to my farm, inject them with 20ml of ivermectin-multivitamin mixture.

This bull escaped to a nearby garden and ate too much maize grain.
Bloat, diarrhea and dullness followed.
This farmer called me to help after 12 hours of trying on his own.
I took a simple long tube and baking soda.
I saved it’s life.

This farmer asked me to find him good heifers for his new farm. We bought these 10 in-calf heifers, 4m ugx each.
He will be getting calves and milk after 2 months. Good business

I bought this cow in January this year. Apparently the former owner wanted to sell for slaughter saying she wasn’t fertile. I begged him to sell to me, I was willing to gamble. I put her on a mineral lick, dewormed using ivermectin. She got on heat and my bull finessed her.

The camera systems we are installing in farms are going to revolutionize the industry. Imagine if you failed to travel to the farm to spray cows due to work issues. Then you sit in office and actually see work done while giving instructions in real time on your smartphone.

I used this technique I learnt from isreal. Hoping for the best.

Back in 2021, in COVID19 lockdown, seeking an escape from boredom I joined twitter. Little did I know this would lead me to becoming “the 'Cowboy'”on Twitter, sharing my passion for dairy farming and the world of cows.

Use social media to blow up your personal or business brand and monetize it while at it.

The Israel holstein cows are some of the highest milk producing cattle. I witnessed cows averaging 90L per day.
Now we’ve been working on a project to import Israel semen to improve on our dairy cattle genetics in Uganda.
How many farmers would be interested in these genetics?

Start up capital.
At a very young age, capital is the hardest part second to sustaining the business. People have ideas but no experience, no money to invest.
This is how I got startup capital to start my farm at 24!

It’s a maize harvest season.
Cows and goats mostly die from feeding on too much maize grains in villages. It’s hard to completely keep livestock away from this mess. Farmers are almost helpless when this happens.
Don’t panic, here’s a simple solution. Baking powder.
