Meet Kopiko, a calf from Budangbudang, our cow. We’ve been taking care of Budangbudang, and in return, we receive a share—Kopiko. Since the rain stopped, I’ve had to reduce the cow population due to the lack of water and insufficient grazing grass. With six cows to manage, I’m handling them alone, but it’s been difficult to do so efficiently. To ease this, the water problem, I’ve hired a team to dig a well on Monday, and I’m hopeful it will be finished soon.
In addition, I have to walk 25 minutes to our main house to take a bath. The journey back to the farm leaves me drenched in sweat—an amusing, yet challenging part of life as a starting farmer.
We need to sell Kopiko as soon as possible, ideally tomorrow, along with Budong, the one that returned. The proceeds from the sale will help pay off my parents’ debt. We’re hoping for a good price to make this happen.
