Goat Farming Question by FarmTech(m): 11:17pm On Oct 02, 2014 |
Hello Nairalanders, How long will a goat take to attain mature weight when fed mainly grass? |
Re: Goat Farming Question by LONGFELLOW02(m): 6:57am On Oct 03, 2014 |
2-3 yrs |
Re: Goat Farming Question by felixzo1(m): 8:50am On Oct 03, 2014 |
2 to 3 but still depends on breed and free range or stall feeding |

It requires a lot of patience and it's better when combined with faster biznesses. Thanks very much. |

The local breed will be a very bad business to venture into except you leave them to be eating on their own which put them at risk of being stolen. I think cow or ram/sheep is better (if you can get good breed) |

fm7070: The local breed will be a very bad business to venture into.. Thanks for the tip. If I'd consider goas, it would have to be a cross between boer and WAD. |

nice idea bro. there was this goat I saw in Ghana early this year, like 2½ feet tall and robust If not for border wahala, I could have brought a male to Nigeria |

fm7070:.. A solution to that would be importing the semen instead. |

do u have a good breed of goats..I want to start rearing goats |
Re: Goat Farming Question by baba11(m): 7:52am On Oct 06, 2014 |
Can one cage them for rearing?because it's not advisable to due free range due to there being stubborn and the level of damage they cause.... |

@Farmtech, please am sorry to derail a little, I know this is a thread for goat but I want to know if you improvised your poultry feeds like grinding corn and soya beans. Please help as am looking for a way to minimise cost. Thank you |

jfkenny:.. I've not started yet. |
Re: Goat Farming Question by FarmTech(m): 10:02pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
rareman:.. I have that in mind. But I buy commercial feed for now - vital feed. |
Re: Goat Farming Question by FarmTech(m): 10:03pm On Oct 17, 2014 |
baba11:.. Yes they can be caged, but it have to be strongly built. |
