Imagine you fattening an animal for a year and when it’s time to sell during festive period, you discovered there was too much animals in the market aka glut. Is it the cost of feeding with Pkc, corn bran,broken maize and soya beans with salt lick that you want to calculate or what ? Or is it the day to day stress you go through to take care of this animals that you will take into consideration?. Let me tell you the fact!! the only way you can really maximize your profit in animal husbandry is by using semi-intensive system and this can be achieved by planting your own pasture. I will talk extensive about pasture establishment in my next post. So stay tuned ! 4 Likes 1 Share |

My number one choice of grass to plant is Napier grass. The grass is highly palatable and yield per acre is huge. It is also very easy to manage. 3 Likes |
Re: Diary Of A Sheep Farmer by Jub101(m): 3:40am On Jul 05, 2023 |
Cattle, sheep, goat intact all ruminants feed on Napier grass. Feeding takes 80% of the key activities on the farm, so why start your ranch without getting the most important thing done 2 Likes |

Last week I had an issue on the farm when one of my pregnant sheeps gave birth and after 12 hours the placenta has still not be discharged. I never experienced this before and immediately I started calling those I know both vet and doctors( since humans are higher animals). I was directed to get oxytocin injection . 2 Likes |
Re: Diary Of A Sheep Farmer by Jub101(m): 8:53pm On Jul 06, 2023 |
I got five of the injections which contains 1ml per inj and was also directed to mix with sterile water before administering through the muscle tissue. The mixture is 1ml of oxytocin to 9ml of sterile water. I was to administer every 12 hours . She delivered the placenta after 48hours. 2 Likes |

NOTE: Do not use overdose of oxytocin because what it does is to cause dilation of the vaginal wall and this aids in pushing the placenta out. Overdose leads to uterus prolapse I.e the womb will come out of her vagina!!! 1 Like 1 Share |

Drug cabinet. Very essential because you never know what’s coming. Good management is key and in case of any situation your drugs are backup.

Through my journey for half a decade in sheep farming I have discovered it is always better to add female animals from your flock back into the herd as they grow more efficiently than those you buy from the North. 1 Like |
Re: Diary Of A Sheep Farmer by Jub101(m): 4:54am On Jul 18, 2023 |
My case study is on my female UDA that was given birth to on my farm last year July and the ones I bought recently at AKINYELE MARKET IBADAN. She is way bigger than all of them and also younger and she’s even a twin o!. The animals brought in from the North go through lots of stress which affects their health, well being and it takes good nutrition and management to get them back to shape. 1 Like |
Re: Diary Of A Sheep Farmer by Jub101(m): 5:13am On Jul 18, 2023 |
In the next five years my goal is to supply other livestock farms around me pure bred UDA Breed straight from the farm no stress no hassle . As for the time being i will keep multiplying my herd. Presently I have 23 female UDA on the farm and the rest are WAD. Patience is the name of this game as we wait for the next kids to drop ![]() 1 Like

Jub101: How much did you buy your females UDA sheep. Secondly, when you say WAD, did you mean our local goats ? |
Re: Diary Of A Sheep Farmer by mexxy1(m): 10:37pm On Jul 18, 2023 |
azikiweironsi: I've been wondering myself as well because it's only goats I know as WAD and I haven't seen him post any goats or I probably missed them. |

mexxy1: Maybe the WAD dwarf op mean is Yan-kasa(Local breed) Local breeds don't have long ears unlike the Ballami breed. Though WAD na for Goat as in Local specie's |
Re: Diary Of A Sheep Farmer by Jub101(m): 12:32pm On Jul 19, 2023 |
I refer to the local sheep specie as WAD. Very stubborn and intelligent animals. Always thinking of how to run away to new pastures every time . My herd boy is always complaining of them after every grazing day. |
Re: Diary Of A Sheep Farmer by azikiweironsi(m): 2:08pm On Jul 19, 2023 |
Jub101: Okay well understood now. How much did you buy your female Uda ? Nice thread. |
