Livestock Auction

Fort Cox excess livestock disposal

The Institute hosted an auction to dispose some of its excess livestock herd. The livestock that were auctioned include both the large stock (cattle) and small stock (goats and sheep). The intention of the Institute to dispose the livestock is to ensure that the farm is restocked with new herds of goats, cattle and sheep breeds that are suitable for the surrounding environmental conditions. Moreover, the Institute through is striving towards strengthening the academic programmes by provisioning healthy livestock herds.

Alumni meeting

Initiative to institute Alumni underway

The Institute held a meeting towards the end of November 2021 with the three former graduates of the Fort Cox Agriculture and Forestry Training Institute to discuss the process of establishing convocation structure. Considering that the meeting attendance was poor, the attendees resolved that the new date in 2022 should be arranged for the Alumni initial meeting to discuss the establishment process of the structure. It was further agreed that the Institute will send the first draft of the Alumni or convocation policies for the comments and inputs.
