Nice one bro

okine4real:
I have successfully moved my goats to my supposed Ranch as i call it. Immediately i move them to the field, they started eating lots of Grass and vegetables, they where even eating leaves i even thought was weed. When i saw them eating those leaves i thought was weed, immediately i know say these goats go soon start to dey fat. I bought 45 goats, the people that bought the goats for me eat my money. Them chop my money know be small, but the truth is, since i cant go there with them because of my work, choping my money was bound to happen. I think some of the goats are pregnant, so i believe before Dec 2021, i should have started seeing kidds.

My main reason for opening the thread is to see the difference between building a house of rearing goats. Am a very practical person. So i want to see which is more profitable. Now back then exactly two years ago, if you are to build a 2bed room flats of 6units, it would cost roughly 45M and the land would cost 18M. Am using Jibowu Lagos as a case study. Rent for 2 bed room is 1M, so a landlord would get 6M yearly for rent. Now my calculation is, now lets take 45M + 18M=63M. Remember we have 6 flats so lets divide 63M by 6 flats, that would give us 10.5M. So it means it would cost 10.5M to build and buy a land just for 1unit of two bed room. So lets invest that 10.5M on goats or any animal husbandry and lets see if we can make more then the 1M the two bed room rent is suppose to give us yearly. In these case i have spend lets say 800k, those boys chop my money ohh, but even if you building a house, the people you would send to buy materials would also chop your money, so all of them na the same thing. i would try and add more goats to round up my expenses to 1M. Donot forget i need to be sure these goat business would fetch me minimum of 1M profit.

Also am trying to teach people to know that, you dont need to be going to lekki every morning for job hunting. These goats business i believe is a very lucrative one, all you need is proper planning. I would update you guys later.

I came across your thread today, but am not happy with this sad ending.... please what really happened? How about the person you put in charge?

OK let me try and say something. I employed a guy too look after the goats. The goats where kept in two acres of and and the lands where fenced round. I have a borehole there also, but unfortunately the person in charge of taking care of the goats was not going too check the goats. The goats where falling sick, i new only when about 4 goats died, i never new the guys was not going to the ranch again. I dont really like talking about this whole issue because i feel very sad talking about it. I swear to type dey hard me.

Give us the whole story. A lot of people will learn from your mistake

I will have too be in a sane mind to type, if nairaland had voice note option, I would have used it to explain better. But I would try and trype later in the week.

Sorry about your loss. @ Okine... You mentioned you were going to be visiting twice weekly.....

Don't give up... Agric. is lucrative...

My maize last year.. Apart from paying for the efforts of all farming activities, I gave the supervisor, 10% of all the sales made... I lost, but it was a learning process that was invaluable.


Peradventure, I delve into livestock, my live - in worker must have a sense of belonging by drafting a % ( you work it out, maybe for every 10 or 11 goats, he owns 1 too. Apart from salary). It creates a sense of ownership, they take the venture very serious....they are committed to see the project to the very end.

This was a pretty sad ending for me.

I hope you have been able to recover from the loss.

Instead of Buying Outrightly

Why don't you get an agreement to lease the lands

Please do you know how I get lease land for agriculture. I mean livestock farming in Ogun State

Thanks
