Had his son not been affected by cow milk, Charles Wathobio would not be involved in dairy goat rearing today. Although he loved livestock during his childhood, Wathobio never thought of keeping animals in future.

His entry into dairy goat keeping started in 2005, after his son developed complications due to taking cow milk. “He had been ill for sometime but after diagnosis, it was discovered that he was allergic to cow’s milk,” he says.
