How pasture farming has led to reduced cattle rustling
Mr David Biwott, who is in charge of livestock and pasture production at the Kerio Valley Development Authority (KVDA), looks on as a herd of Sahiwal cows graze at the authority's Chemeron Station in Marigat sub-county in Baringo County. African Foxtail Grass farming has reduced cattle rustling in the region.
In the vast Baringo County, cattle rustling, a cultural practice, has been rampant over the years.
Pasture farming has helped reduce decades of pasture wars among the pastoralists.
One morning in mid-February, last year, Ben Lenariach, 47, drove his herd of cattle from Losogem village, along a footpath snaking west through shrubs.
He was headed to a grazing field by a river, which divides his Lchamus and the Pokot communities.
