What you need to know about goat farming

foreign [Applause] we do commercial farming in goats we do two types boa Savannah and the third one which is our parent which we started with which is our Rocco movende okigasi goats but we want to improve them to have the the good breeds of the boas and Savannah but we wanted to grow organically not artificial growth because we can't begin with what we don't know we had to begin with what we knew them when they got the goats then we improve them to the boas these ones and Savannah we will soon bring the pure breeds with imports from South Africa or buy from those who have already imported to breed them to a good grade why do we do goats we do goats because of some reasons one goats grow very fast and we can sell them easily they grow and we sell Two Goats Karma spray easily because in one year a goat can give you two kids if you have a goat which gives you two or three kids they will have multiplying the same Saturday the numbers grow unlike the cow which will take nine months it is not easy We Did goats because we know that every person can afford to take care of a goat whether you are poor I know the poorest person who doesn't have land can take care of God because you can easily cut to grass and feed these goats and turn them into money another reason that we did goats we needed manure we needed manure you need manure organic manure to do other things as in Goods but what I like about goats they are easy to master when you are taking care of them when you are very clean you will reduce on the diseases when you keep with them for a long time you will know what they need you will like them they will like you you will turn it into profit immediately so I really encourage people to like goat farming say that we can multiply them anytime you go to the market you'll get your money back I first learned from my friends on on the internet the WhatsApp groups that we make the edit Farmers because I was on top of but later I saw what got us wear we really call them Waters where do we are doing their thing so I said why can't I change goal posts because it was Paul was taking a lot of my time it makes good profit yes but it consumes a lot of time so I was getting tired I said let me turn into Goods because I was seeing those doing cut off farming diary from beef but I chose goats I chose goats because of what I read the literature I saw and what I had seen at my grandparents home so I decided to join goats because I knew I could handle this God because they are easy to manage [Music] the management of gods one you need to be clean two you need to choose your breed right breed is very important like now I've gone into Savannah and boa the time they take to grow is very short whereas our momente can take two years to conceive eight months I'm able to have the boa the moment the the Savannah conceiving so that breed that can grow very fast encourages you to do the goats so I encourage someone if you are going into farming into goat farming make sure you choose the right breed three you need good pastures pastures are important input when you are doing the goats because they have particular pastures they need they need to they are browsers so they keep picking up things around the farm they you can't keep them in one place that's why I have to do both so they like browsing you need to choose your specials right and I think the reason that uh one has to put into into account the care they care when I say they care you need to be detailed look at where they sleep how they feed they are so important when you are when you are doing good farming make sure you are you have to spray them weekly because they also are affected by ticks then deworming you have to be warm worms are a very a big enemy in goats sword warming must be scheduled warming you know that on certain certain deaths I have to do warm whether you see there are signs or no signs the warm don't wait for signs so when you do one when you spray you reduce on the diseases because now this worm is a parasite so when it is eating the other one is also feeding you will see it when the goat is not looking right then you need to do that another reason one has to invest in farming in a good funny it is easy to sell something you take even if I call someone now someone will come with money two hundred thousand and takes a good rather than investing into something which will take you time to save and it is difficult for you to look for Market by the way when we are choosing farming or any other business you have to look at the market first it is priority number one because all you need into this business is money so you must know where the market is then you begin investing so there is a market that was available for goods that's what brought me into what farming like any other business there are challenges in Goat farming there is theft because like the frog is Big you need to be doing sensors like it's okay weekly but you'll find when words are missing what do you do they have already gone but safety is a challenge number one two like any other animal they also have diseases but those ones are now a bit controllable but it is also a challenge if you are not an outbreak can come and you lose the whole frog another challenge is of course the land land has never been enough as you can see you would choose to let them feed on their own they would keep the cost low but now because the land is limited now we have to supplement the feeding so that one puts the cost of raising them a bit higher you will not compete with somebody who just send them outside well now you need fuel the vehicle to bring the the pastures and everything but because you need the profit you have to use what you have profitably the land is really a big challenge it is a there are the challenges I mostly find nothing much and that and even water availability but here we have the Water Source it is good it is there but you have to you put in some money to pump the water it is also not easy yeah my future plans I want this Farm to be an epicenter forgot when you think of God farming you are in the Western you should be thinking of satellite Farmers I want to make it a breeder Farm for what that is my major Focus so that we can multiply this good breeds good breeds which can bring to us more money and in a very short time I'm seeing myself like in three years I don't want to put it far they taught me in Project planning that you should have any good project should have a limited time so I need like three years to make it a perfect Farm where you come in and say yes I work with these people if I'm to do cartoons good fun I need to involve the youth there is another one so they can learn from here then this knowledge they transfer to other people who will be starting those projects because now sometimes we begin it is you the owner who has the knowledge only so I need those other boys who can help so that when he was saying castrating you don't need to bring people from far the boys themselves can do that and you know that now these are trained and they can do that because most of the people when you bring you ask your friends to begin they say but we don't know what to do and you don't have people to give them to begin so I want it to be an IP Center for goats and to train others and involve others in good family people whoever is thinking of farming you are welcome to Goat farming I've got everything that I need excitement you wake up in the morning you feel you should go and see what is happening on the farm one you are sure you are assured of your money two they were they might cry it really encourages you today you have a goat which is pregnant four months it has given you kids you come back in another two months it is pregnant already it really encourages you to invest more and have more in fact it is a to me it is a stress reliever I don't feel stressed no even if they are dying I'm hopeful that I will come back so it is one thing that one can invest in and have hope so fellow people come join us we do goat farming we have market for it thank you [Applause] foreign
