The court in Arusha on Tuesday ordered the cows auctioned on Friday and the proceeds handed to the state if the herders fail to pay a trespass penalty of TSh500 million (Sh23 million).
The owner of the cows, Ngunyi ole Ngunja, told the court he does not have money to pay the fine.
Four Kenyan herders, the livestock owner and five elders who had crossed to Tanzania to negotiate the release of the cows were thrown back into remand.
