Dear Daktari, My name is Joshua Kyalo. I have a large tract of land that I plan to turn into a ranch to raise some indigenous but profitable beef cows. I have been doing some research and observing that many ranches are turning to Boran cattle. I am almost convinced this is the breed to keep, and I am already doing my calculations. In your expertise, could you please enlighten me a little more about this breed? [Joshua Kyalo, Yatta]

Thank you, Joshua, for reading Smart Harvest and for your thoughtful question. You are correct in your observation that Boran cattle are increasingly becoming popular among farmers in Kenya and beyond. I have also received numerous inquiries recently on where to source these breeds for beef and milk production in Kenya.
