Prior to the onset of the cool weather we are experiencing right now, please let’s us try and make sure our animals are in good health condition which can be achieved by the fore mentioned strategies.

Good day, I will like to endeavor everyone into animal husbandry not to take for granted the importance of good feed both grasses and concentrate with proper management systems which include sanitation, deworming, ectoparasite control and when necessary antibiotics to fight against infection. I wish all of us the best

FashionCapital:

Good job you are doing here ...

I have really been motivated

Pls why do you keep buying ewe(sheep) for breading? Is it that you sell the older ones when they tend not to reproduce again!

I sell off kids and not the ewe, sometimes you go to the market and see good ewes that you just have to get due to their potential if properly managed

SEGLIZ:
good one here. it will get to a point people will beg for employment at that stage you are nearing leaving your business in trusted hand.

one thing I tell people is don't expect your staff not to do some shady deals but look away when there is need to or needless you raising an eye, react when needed just learn to balance it all.

in all if you have a good insensitive policy needless will your employees want to steal from you since they are better motivated by you.

ladtly, I want to ask where precisely are you based or run your farm from?

My farm is located in Osun state, human relation is a key factor to consider in every business being done, get this right with proper management and knowledge and you’re sure to succed

EagleEyeez:
Is this Kirikou fi same as the lady finger variety you have?

No, kirikuo is an hybrid, my variety is OPV. It terms of yield I will go for OPV as both will produce based on your Agronomic management. Kirikou is too expensive to plant on a large scale now !
My opinion

hastral45:
Pls who know a variety of okra known as "yokoso" in yorubaland?.
And can "imiforce" be used to cure okra yellow vein mosaic virus?.Thanks

Imiforce, dimeforce are detrimental to whitefly , also ensure proper weeding of the farm and the environment. All the best sir

We have new lambs in the farms from new stock



2nd pic is when I got them in December both on the same day

epainos:

Saw also your okra farm. Truly, you have done well at your age.

I have a question. Can you leave your farm (sheep and vegetables) and go abroad? Can it function properly without you? I am asking because you are tied to a business if it can only run effectively with you around. Have you ever considered running your farm without your presence? Could you please share your thoughts?

Thank you for this question sir, I believe I can when I have good, well trained hands to take up the task in my absence, but unfortunately there are few and they will even prefer to run there farm rather than manage someone else own.
Farming is a vocation and can be turned to business but for now to maximize profitability and growth you have to be involved 110%.

Okro field after 14th harvest

asiwaju60:
Sir Which of the male breed is good for cross breeding Yadaka female sheep for better body size

Go for Uda ram

femu:


Well done. What's the plant population and how many baskets so far?

The land size is 3acres approximately and total basket up till now is 313

Animal husbandry as any other business takes time and lot of investment before you start seeing good results, it gives you peace of mind on the long run as you will be getting steady cash flow when done correctly. Never give up on this field it’s hard for a reason

I started harvesting Okro on the 11th of April and did my 13th harvest yesterday with good yield. I think I’m gradually becoming an expert in this field o. Kudos to me !!!!

Abdulganniy001:
Please, which variety of okro is good for planting.

Southwest market likes the kirikou f1 seed and not the long tiny lady fingers planted by the Hausa

Redomi:
Boss, my okro will start flowering this week, can I see the basket so that I can know how to measure when sale commences

Measurement used for sales is determined the your location sir

Kehfie:

Thanks for sharing

You’re welcome

webhostbiz:

How do you sell?

Not available currently

femu:


Well done.

How much is a bag currently and what Spraying strategies are you using?

Current basket price in iwo is 10500 as for bag idk.
The spraying regime for pesticide or herbicide ?

Kehfie:

What was the result of this experiment

The agrovert actually helped with the overall growth of the plant and gave it better immunity to fight against the Okro mosaic virus. I can conclude on this due to other farms around me already ravaged with the virus, so sad 😞

8th harvest done yesterday and what I notice is that the production level is low in terms of yield, we have been able to combat the mosaic virus better this year through our spraying program and the price of Okro has been at the all time highest ever!!!

Good afternoon everyone, I hope we’re all doing good, sallah is close by and prices of rams are going up, so I was being asked by someone when is the best time to sell a ram now or wait till the Eid festive is near, before I answer I will throw the question to the gurus on the platform

A sight to behold !

I will be going with agrovert 20:20:20 has a balanced fertilizer as Okro grows while still producing pods hence needs every nutrients required to boost growth and flowering.

I learnt from a cucumber farmer that they boost their yield by applying nutrients back to the plant through basal or foliar spray after every harvest, so I’m thinking of doing a trial on that and apply foliar fertilizer after every 3 harvests. Will keep you posted on my results stay tuned !!

safarifarms:

What do you think about including ducks as part of your livestock? I think the environment would be suitable for them too.

Thank you for your input sir, I bought a few last year but not on commercial scale

betabread:
How often do you spray pesticides on ur okra

Every week till harvesting begins

betabread:


From your experience when does the rain become too much that your soil becomes water logged.......

Most crops planted February are usually profitable

Around June, by then I’m done harvesting

Day 48
Flowering and pod formation observed.
Few days to harvesting now

Having the right knowledge with the right team goes a long way in sheep farming and animal husbandry in general. I have been fortunate to be on this journey and I will preserve no matter the adversity. Thank you all for being part of the journey, we move
