Governor Kayode Fayemi says his administration has imported more than 200 pregnant cows from the United States of America.
Ekiti-owned Ikun Dairy Farm will manage the pregnant cows in Ikun-Ekiti. The farm is to serve as a prototype for the National Livestock Transformation Plan.
It will address the farmers-herders crisis in Ekiti, according to Fayemi.
“These cows are going to be stationary. They are not roaming anywhere. They are not going on open grazing. They are right here on the farm.
