My journey to becoming a successful dairy farmer

Summary

“A cow’s shelter should ensure easy movement, should
also be sizeable and stress free,” Muturi says, adding
the shelter should also be covered from external
weather conditions such as rains, wind and direct
sunlight.

Before starting his own venture, Muturi worked as a
farm hand at a dairy farm in Githunguri for two years,
and that gave him a head start as a dairy farmer.

An entry into dairy farming for Muturi and his wife was
a tough one, as the sector was by then dominated by
the old folk. “The older farmers were more experienced
than us so we would consult with them most of the
time.”
