President William Ruto bottle-feeds a young calf at his Kilgoris farm in Narok County on August 7, 2026/SCREENGRABPresident William Ruto has been captured bottle-feeding a young calf at his Kilgoris farm in Narok county, offering another glimpse of his hands-on involvement with his livestock.
In footage from the farm, Ruto is seen carrying a reddish-brown calf into a cattle shed before placing it on the ground and kneeling beside it to feed it from a large nursing bottle.
The President supports the calf as it drinks the milk, while several adult cattle stand inside the shed nearby.
Ruto is dressed casually in a patterned long-sleeved shirt, blue jeans, boots and a wide-brimmed brown hat as he attends to the young animal.
The moment comes days after the President spent part of the weekend at the expansive farm, where he was also pictured inspecting cattle and interacting with calves.
During the August 1 visit, Ruto was photographed walking through the livestock areas, checking on young calves and feeding cattle from the fodder area.
Other images showed him among the herd as the animals gathered under modern, open-sided cattle sheds fitted with metal fencing and feeding areas.
The latest footage, however, shows the President taking a more direct role in caring for one of the young calves as he carries it from the farmyard and feeds it by hand.

The farm has several cattle sheds and fenced sections used to keep different groups of livestock, including calves.
Ruto has frequently spoken about agriculture and livestock development as important parts of Kenya's economy and food security.
The President's own interest in livestock farming has also featured during his visits to agricultural events and farms, where he has inspected cattle and engaged farmers on production.
His Kilgoris farm visit comes as the government continues to promote investment in livestock production, dairy farming, animal health and improved breeds as part of efforts to strengthen the agricultural sector.
During his earlier visit to the farm, Ruto was seen examining individual animals and moving through the cattle sheds as he checked the condition of the herd.
The latest images add another personal dimension to the visit, with the President seen tending to a calf that required bottle feeding.
