Use any measurement.
You can do 2x8
Or 3x12 for a larger space.
Make as many as possible and put them in different areas of the pen so that they can all eat. If it is just one and they over crowd it, the weak ones may not be able to eat.
Hope you know that we sometimes hang the grasses?

Goat Farming in Africa.
First, build your goat house/pen/barn according the nature of your environment (I will explain this, in another video). Then make sure there is enough playing area for your goats/sheep.

Do not release the ones that just kidded, at the same time with others to avoid stampede.

For those asking if there is market for goats:
Note that, we find it very difficult to meet up to demand. May this December meet you, as a goat farmer!

Most of the bucks/billies/males have been sent to different farms for active duties. Lol!

The prices of goats depends on so many factors:
1. Location
2. The financial need of the farmer
3. The breed
4. The viability of the goat
5. The size
6. The productivity of the goat ( some goats give birth to just one kid, some to two and others 3)
7. Some people even consider the colour ( a pure black male goat is usually more expensive than other colours)
8. The seasons/period, etc.

When you want to buy goats, go for the particular goat you want and bargain price with the farmer.
Generally, an average Nigerian Dwaft Goat costs between 7,000 to 25,000

When you want to start your farm, go for breeds the are highly disease resistant and can do well in your environment. Later , you can begin to try out other breeds, with the experience you have gathered.

Please, try and get another doe, so that she will not be lonely.
Re: Practical Goat/Sheep Farming In Nigeria by vikacydevato(m): 9:20pm On May 23, 2020
The farm has been so blessed this period with bucklings. The more we ship them out, the more the does give birth to more bucklings.
If your farm needs a healthy and active buck (male goat) Let us know.
It is the does that make your farm grow. One billy is enough to serve 30 does.

How I wish they were all does!

Although, the photo is not clear. But, from the colour, it looks like a Boer goat.

This is a red sokoto cross with a Boer.

It has some features of the Boer and that of the red sokoto.
The colour is that of Boer. But the ears are those of the red S. The ears of the Boer are normally fallen.

Therefore, I feel it is as cross breed of Red S. And Boer.

Goat Medication.

The rains are here.
This is the period your goats may fall sick easily.
Be prepared.
Make sure all their medications are handy.
Proper farm management is highly needed at this time.
All the best!

Re: Practical Goat/Sheep Farming In Nigeria by vikacydevato(m): 8:19pm On May 29, 2020
Crossbreeding process taking place.
If you look very well , you will see that the first set we tried was successful. That buckling (baby male goat) there, is a crossbreed of the Nigerian dwarf goat doe and a red sokoto buck/billy.

The ones we are crossing now are expected to kid during the dry season (November/December).

We always advise that you start with a breed that is highly disease resistant and can do well in your area and gradually introduced other breeds or cross with other breeds.

Remember that there are things you need to learn for crossbreeding to be successful.

Observe your goats daily, so that, you can detect the sick ones on time and treat them. Losing one goat is equal to losing 6 goats.
