Oh yes! Counties need to revive cattle dips

Communal cattle dipping which was common in the 90s ensured effective tick and disease control in livestock farms across villages. [Kipsang Joseph, Standard]

Cheramboss, a breeder from Nandi County is an unhappy man. According to his email, he is unhappy because his neighbours are doing nothing to control ticks and other disease insects on their farms and this is spreading to his herd.

Cheramboss has done his bit; he says he sprays his herd twice a week; but his lazy neighbours are watering down his efforts.
