I am about to go into cattle business, thanks to one of my staff who reared cows as a young boy. we are thinking of buying cows somewhere at the rate of between N35,000 to N120,000 per head, and reselling same at double the price in Abuja. I've seen cows going for as much as N250,000 per head. For those who do not know, ex-Ghanaian international Nee Odartey Lamptey is into cow business. Animal husbandry is good business, but like any other business, you need a marketing plan to properly dispose of your stock getting your cash at hand and not having people owing you up and down. Go for it my brother! 1 Like |

This is a very lucrative business. All you need is space and location. You can multiply your stock 3 to 4 times in a year. Carry go. |

My brother, when there are graduates flooded over the whole place with very few jobs for these graduates, it then boils down to the critical question- why do government/schools admit more than they can employ after graduation? Well, gone are the days when people wait for non existent government jobs. Anything can be a job to you. Good you understand this fact by considering the goat farming idea. Myself i have a degree in Political/Administration, but i don't think, i have the patience for those non-existing jobs. I do Heliculture (Snail Farming) on Part Time coupled with other businesses. You can incorprate Heliculture to your goatfarming and watch the profit yearly. Snail farmig is as simple as ABC if only you follow the practical guides. All you need to know about Heliculture and succed is downloaded here for you. follow the link: www.snailfarmingng..com 1 Like |

Hi poster, I love your courage Sometinmes, the reason some pple remain stagnant is just cos they cant think outside the box I did some online searching after reading your post and came up with these: http://www.startupbizhub.com/startup-goat-farming-business.htm http://www.cassavabiz.org/agroenterprise/ent%20images/goat_01.pdf http://www.tribune.com.ng/index.php/wealth-creation-thru-agric/1923-goat-farming-1 You will need to do more online search, talk to pple one-on-one (you may not disclose your intention) and you could devote a month to work in an husbandry for a little pay or without pay, just for you to achieve your goal. 1 Like |

@igelomo smart move, i am personally saving tons of capital and hope with time i could join you very soon. i need this as secondary income generating biz. i have a friend who is down at ilaro, ogun state, he has his own goat farm, and some herds of cows and he recently boast of making a net profit of 2.5 mil every month. he started with just 50 goats, and he almost regretted it and would complain bitterly daily, but today he's acquired about 11 acres of land and has over 500 goats. the goats and cows are cheaper to rear because they consume mostly soy and beans waste which you get cheaply at ketu per ton and they also consume grasses which is as good as free, but you need a good link in either chad or the north where you can consecutively pack them at immature age. that way, its dirt cheap. you only spend on transporting them down to where you have your farm in either ikorodu or ifo, etc. and a fully matured wild goat goes as atleast for #10,000 at the market, maturity of wild goats take 3 months, and feeds is extremely cheap. cows take about 8 months depending on provision of soy waste and fresh grass. a small calf goes for around #40k to #50k and sells for atleast #120,000 at maturity, the older the cows get, the more expensive it becomes. we recently purchased an 11 month old cow for #320,000 from my same friend for a burial. but note; location and security is the key, and knowing all the local abattoirs will help a lot, its a great biz, but its front loaded, you need plenty capital, and lots of patience, and ofcourse, experience, i advice you to find a young mallam you trust who has done the job, partner with him on some tiny percentage; give him accommodation on the farm and watch yourself becomes the next multimillionaire in no time. i have a blueprint for this business, im still battling with the poultry biz im running with my construction profession, next stop is the husbandry biz. 6 Likes 1 Share |

D Thethy:e Do you have an idea of any comm goat farm in Nigeria ? I need to visit one and see live farm management! Igelomo - there is a knowledge based online certification program on comm goat meat production in US university, u can download it freely or complete the program and paid a small amount of money for the certification. The program is very informative for a beginner and includes basic farm budgets on Xcel for such biz. |
Re: Goat Farming by Nobody: 12:53am On Aug 26, 2011 |
babaijesha, where is the site to your message on d online certification course. |
Re: Goat Farming by xtayle(m): 3:07pm On Sep 13, 2011 |
Does anyone have knowledge based suggestion on how much it takes to start animal husbandry from scratch to profit. I like to includes goats and cows. Detail technicalities will be appreciated. xtayle@gmail.com |
Re: Goat Farming by babaijesha: 5:10pm On Sep 13, 2011 |
xtayle: This is diffilcult to get as u hardly see any big time commercial animal husbandry farm ard. Though we have farms up in the North, most of them are handled by Fulanis and record keeping is done in the primitive way, |
Re: Goat Farming by xtayle(m): 5:23pm On Sep 13, 2011 |
I feel you. That will mean trying through errors. Meanwhile someone somewhere have done it in the south without our knowledge. We hope that someone will visit this thread soon and throw light on it so we dont have to re-invent the wheel. 1 Like |

Goat Farming business is a profitable venture for you because goats do not need high maintenance and are relatively cheap to tend. The returns are great since almost every part of the goat can be used. Its meat is sought-after, its wool is utilized to create sweaters and jackets and most importantly, its milk is harvested. You can find more information about goat farming here: http://www.how-to-start-guides.com/how-to-start-a-goat-farming-business Have a good reading |
