Goats in Meru are living in good times; they have a new addition to their menu, miraa! The crop, associated with the lush highlands of Meru and surrounding areas, and which turned farmers into millionaires, has today become so worthless, goats are now being fed on it. It never used to be this way; goats stuck to their grass and shrub staple, and miraa, gold to the farmers, was shipped abroad, where it fetched handsome profits.
