First shipment of Sialum cattle arrive at Keapara

These batch of cattle will be restocked at the Launakalana ranch for breeding under the National cattle breeding program. The 187 heads of cattle were bought by the Livestock Development Corporation from smallholder farmers in Sialum, Tewai-Siassi Morobe Province.

LDC Board Chairman, Martin Gynauru said the main purpose of this project is to breed the cattle.

“Sialum has the stock and LDC is buying from the smallholders famers. They don’t have the market so we are providing a market for the local farmers”, he added.
