Welcome to Shamba Shape Up Series 15!
This week, we're in Kaloleni, Kilifi County, visiting Jonathan, a farmer who traded his Nairobi hotel job for a life on his 8-acre farm. He now manages two Fleckvieh dual-purpose cows, a heifer, and a vital water pan. But he faces challenges with a deteriorating cowshed and labor-intensive weeding. In this episode, we help Jonathan boost productivity and efficiency with expert support:
- Dual-Purpose Cow Management: Learn how to care for cows that provide both milk and beef. We'll show you how to prevent illness with proper housing, hygiene, and feeding, as well as how to treat calf fever and improve shed conditions for healthier livestock.
- Brush Cutter for Land Prep & Weeding: Discover how to save hours of manual labor with a modern, efficient brush cutter. See how this powerful tool can help with land preparation and weed control, even in the coastal heat.
Farming at the coast has its challenges, but with the right advice and tools, it's possible to grow a healthy herd and crops while saving time and energy."
