A vet in Soroti  gives free advice when cows are purchased. Recipients have to come and collect them and walk them home- sometimes quite a distance, but they do not mind! 

The vet also visits the cows in the villages when needed. His advice is free but medicines have to be paid for by the communities.

More mature heifers, capable of producing a calf within a shorter period, are bought. Once a calf is produced it is passed on to another family.
