Kenya - Startup under 3 years old

Describe your project or startup in a few words

There has always been my dream to own and run an animal farm. After campus i had to start with the most cost effective one-chicken farming- which though did not go well as expected, it is running and are the returns are planned to expand to beef farmin

01.01 Describe your startup in more detail

After a disappointing start with the Birds, i decided to implement next the idea that i had of beef farming. Bef farming requires alot of capital to start and maintain untill it attains the runing mode power. From the sale of the chicken products, the received capital is aimed to start the already planned beef farming project. Everything has been put in place and the planned construction of the 15unit cattle shed is set to start in the month of july. Receiving a boost in the implementation stage will be more helpfull as it will lead to a greater and bigger outcome. A number of stock cattle has already been inquired and it is just a matter of time we run it.
