Mr Igolo is a sad shoats (goats and sheep) farmer. He had a flock of about 150 shoats on his ten acre farm in Isinya in the outskirts of Nairobi. A good percentage of the herd was composed of male goats and sheep, which was by coincidence.

The flock had lambs, kids, ram lambs, buckling, ewes and yearlings among others. But his problem was this — when he approached buyers they offered a bad price. Reason? The mutton (meat) had a bad smell.
