Buyin Goats

After my string of bad luck, things started to go well for me again. I had just a few days left in Uganda, and I thought I would make the most of them. What better way to spend ones time than buying goats! Exciting eh? Well, not really... On Tuesday (July22), we drove out to Kasesse, which is about 3 hours north west of Mbarara. The drive was beautiful considering we had to pass through Queen Elizabeth National Park.

When we arrived at the farm to purchase the goats, we were sadly disappointed. Although the animals looked good, there were some discrepancies with their records etc, so we decided not to buy any of the goats. The following day we travelled another 3 hours to Masaska (east of Mbarara) to visit a well-known dairy goat farm. We were impressed with the goats and bought 13! Our original plan was to shove all the goats in the back of our small SUV, but needless to say, we realized quite quickly that this plan was not going to work. Instead, we took 5 goats with us and arranged for the transport of the rest the following day. Luckily these were well behaved goats so the journey with them went well.
