Your analogy no follow.

Cows who are always being marched from one point to another take longer to fatten.

The broiler chicken matures for consumption with enough meat between 2,1/2 to 3 months. Its free range counterpart takes anywhere from 6 months to one year and will have less meat.

Ranching is the way to go. They should go and learn newer husbandry methods.

Thank you.

If USA with all its genetics modification and hybrid produces beef at $7.25
Nigerians will not be able to buy beef if the price doubled to $5.00
All these people online shouting and cursing would complain with more anger.
Ranching is expensive but we all love to eat affordable Suya

dragunov:


Then go and find another work to do. Learn a skill or something. It is not by force to rear cattle.

malali:


Lol, Ganduje is a politician...believe him at your risk.
Reason why cattle herders move southwards is because grass doesn't grow in the north during dry season
Ganduje was just looking for a way to milk the government treasury. If you had financed him to set up a ranch he will have pocketed billions of dollars.

Blue3k:


GMO cows were approved two years ago. What's wrong with hybrid beef? I dont care if it's a pure bred. Why do you assume the price will double over ranching? It's already assumed the ranchers will be more productive meaning more beef production. Then theirs always the option of allowing more imports to keep prices competitive. When the supply increases the price will drop.

Theoretical solution, nice try. But these governors cant even pay minimum wage !!!

Abeg, na only them fit fume?
Why do they always override the southern senators as though they are their slaves.

The North's only strategy is to fume over matters and as usual the weaklings from the south will surrender .

The same way you come from the southeast and open a pharmacy or spare parts shop in Kaduna/kano/katsina and ply your trade and take the profits back to east safely.
Thats the same way the fulani man also plies his only trade all across Nigeria, to feed and raise his family.

dragunov:

Then you can think of ways to force grass to grow in the North during the dry season. With the trillions pilfered from government coffers by your elites/ cow owners and generated from the criminal business of kidnapping and terrorism perpetrated by your people, you can set up irrigation for grass farming in vast areas of land in the North. That will solve the problem of having to migrate so as to go and cause wanton destruction of lives and properties in the South. If you people don't stop this madness, very soon Fulanis will be an endangered ethnic group in Nigeria. That is guaranteed. Buhari is no longer in charge.

Ubanz:
Mr. Aleiro , section 41 said citizens. Are cows citizens?
Suddenly those behind herdsmen killings are exposing themselves.

haffaze777:
spare parts seller and pharmacist didn't pay for their shop? Abi herder are paying for the plant they destroy?

JuanDeDios:

These are the problems in the way of ranching that nobody is willing to talk about. This is why government has to step into this "private business", which has become a national security issue.

Yes, open grazing has to go since it has become a vehicle for crime. But government has to put on its thinking cap if a solution is to be found.

Because they choose to misappropriated funds not the non-availability. While doing my postgraduate studies here in the UK. I had a schoolmate whose father was a Governor of a Northwestern state back home in Nigeria, living large paying about N5M every month as rent for his apartment, drove a top range car which he didn't even need because his apartment was a walking distance to campus and if you were in his circle of friends back then in school, you don hammer because you wouldn't stress yourself hustling part time jobs like other international students because the Governor's son was a spender and easily gave money to his guys, for being around him......so you can imagine how the other children of the Governor will balling wherever they are.

Kogi state struggled to pay minimum wage but we saw the figures, Yahaya bello misappropriated.

Raise your cattle in the North, transport and sell nationwide, they have no business in people's farms.

KillahPriest:
The Fulani herdsmen have money, they are amongst the wealthiest people in this country but I wonder why they are so wicked and stingy to themselves ? Why do they want free access to other people's lands instead of doing the sane thing done worldwide which is buying or leasing of lands ? Very wicked people who just love crisis every time. Tufiakwa

malali:


I hope you learnt how to be rich from your schoolmate so that your own child doesn't tell poverty tales like this on nairaland in the future.
On a serious note misappropriation is a national pandemic in Nigeria.
However being wealthy is not a crime, we should differentiate the two.
I am Nigerian and i don't have any cattle. The forum is brainstorming for viable solutions not a forum for ethnic vilification or where poverty is publicized or celebrated.

The world is an ecosystem.
Some people have to rear the cow
Some people have to plant the food
Some people have to trade the goods
Some people have to work in the offices
But we all have to learn to live together peacefully.

Do you know how much will feed a cow for 2 years in a ranch ??

Compare it to a nomadic free grazing cow ??

I see what you are saying but even more importantly.
Do not stop taking your medications.

Next time report what you are sure of, don't paint a gory picture to vilify people.
By the way intellectual dishonesty is an oxymoron
And crass is your description of the alleged rape scene you aforementioned.

And for this lesson i gave you, you owe me 25000 naira plus tax.

Putinofrussia:
So it is destruction of farm produce (another person's sweat and hope)
and free food for your cows you prefer than doing the global best practice.
Dont you know the number of lives that have been lost because of this stupidity and non regard for human lives?
It is only a wicked soul that will support open grazing which has caused lots of senseless killings and reprisals.

Potential Impact on Beef Prices
Implementing large-scale ranching could significantly increase the cost of beef due to the high expenses associated with establishing and maintaining ranches.These would make Nigerian cows too expensive for purchase as cows from Niger and other neighboring countries practicing open grazing will be cheaper in the open market.

Suggested Practical Solutions
Designated Grazing Areas: Allocate specific areas for grazing to prevent clashes while allowing pastoralists to continue traditional herding methods.
Conflict Resolution Mechanisms: Establish local committees to mediate disputes between farmers and herders, promoting peaceful coexistence.
Cooperative Farming: Encourage farmers and herders to form cooperatives, sharing resources and knowledge to improve productivity and harmony.
Community-Based Animal Health Services: Provide mobile veterinary services to support herders, reducing the need for long migrations and potential conflicts.
These solutions aim to be cost-effective and fair to both cattle herders and farmers, ensuring sustainable practices and reducing conflicts.

The Southeast is allowed to ply their trade and open spare parts shop in katsina
The Southwest is holding Aso-rock Office in Abuja
The South-south is FCT Minister in Abuja
Why cant the northern Fulani man feed his cow in the south ?
Lets be tolerant and restructure cattle grazing to accommodate everybody.

malali:


You might want to rear goat like chicken in agric cages as well ?
[b]Cows graze in brazil.
Brazil is the world largest producer of beef for a reason.
Even Nigerian human beings grazing with their 2 feet, cannot afford to feed themselves 3 square meals due to inflationary government policies, you now want to tie a cow down.
Ranching is feasible but its very expensive.[/b]

onuman:



When Obasanjo said: "who will give you his land" (for RUGA, Ranch, etc), he did not mince words.
All over the free world, people in cattle breeding buy their farm, fence it, buy straw to feed their cattle, use artificial insemination to impregnate their cow, milk the cow every morning and every evening, milk collected every morning to milk depots where dairy products are made, and cattle for beef are taken to designated abattoirs for slaughter.

Embrace modernity. Hiding under cattle to export a religion is an outdated formula.
