Just received from Mugie –
A herd of goats stolen off the Pokot by Samburu on our south west boundary this afternoon. 6 gun shots just reported west of our head quarters which we assume is contact between the two groups as that was the direction they were heading in.This is the third goat theft by Samburu this week on our boundary.
Huge pressure building from Samburu on all out eastern boundaries with several thousand illegally grazing where ever they can get away with it.
Two herds of Pokot cattle heading south of us for better pastures!
I have also heard from several different sources that Mathew Lemprukel brother was killed by a lion illegally grazing at night on a property south of us.
More cattle queuing up! – ready to come in for a good night of grazing.
