There is this time I survived on ngumu mbili na maji when working in Mjengo so that I can save. I saved enough to buy a calf and animal feeds. Everything was flowing well. When I was saving towards buying a second calf, evil satan passed by our village in form of foot and mouth d!sease. I wasted all my money on the veter!nary officer. The young bull didn’t make it. Not even the skin could be saved.
Since then, I hate ngumu passionately.

I was planning to sell the bull upon maturity and then buy two small heifers.
The culprit is foot & mouth deseas not ngumuu
