APAP - An Association of Farmers
This is a group of farmers in the Kigeme Parish that we met our first visit in 2006. Their goal is to improve the genetics of their livestock and to excel in agriculture. We have worked with them over the years and have seen many changes in their association. They are a very motivated group and have much knowledge to offer other farmers in the area.
Each year farms are revisited to see how farmers are doing, answer further questions and gather more information to keep up their education.

The Bull Saga
Many dairy bulls have been purchased for APAP over the years to improve the genetics of the cows. The bulls have all been named (except for the first bull) and are fondly remembered for their service. The first bull died in service- his self sacrifice will not be forgotten. Fred has many progeny that will carry on his quirky ways. George was just a bully and did not last long.
Stay tuned for "Henry VIII"- there are plans to purchase him this year. You guessed it, he will have many cow wives!!! |
