Tomorrow, Christians all over the world will be celebrating Christmas, a day set aside to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ, the pillar of Christian faith.

As has been tradition, the celebrations are normally marked by merry making, family get-together and at the centre of it, goats, sheep, cattle, turkeys and chickens in their thousands will be slaughtered to supply the much-needed meat. This puts the farmer at the centre of the celebrations as the main supplier of meat.
