A family in Emsea Sub-location, Keiyo South Constituency, is counting heavy losses after losing 14 cattle to black quarter disease in a span of two days.
Jeremiah Chirchir, the owner of the livestock, said the tragedy began last Sunday when his cattle strayed and went missing. "They disappeared on Sunday evening, and by Monday morning, we started searching for them.
We traced them to Emsea but found four of them dead," he recounted.
Chirchir described the shock and confusion the family faced upon discovering the first dead animals. "We asked ourselves what could have happened, but there was no clear explanation.
