Chronicle reports that Gwanda-based livestock farmer Thabani Sibanda has 400 cattle that are valued at nearly US$300 000.
His herd comprises of Brahmans, beef masters and cross breeds. His target is to convert his entire herd to beef masters for commercial purposes.
Talking about his journey, Sibanda said he started with six cattle in 2010 after giving up his job at Agribank to focus on his farming project.
He retired in 2014 just after he had been promoted to a senior post. Sibanda benefited from the Government’s land reform programme and he was allocated an 800- hectare farm in 2014.
He said leaving his formal job to concentrate on his livestock project is one of the best decisions that he has ever made and now the cattle are valued at a combined US$300 000.
