Please can u identify the breed

Although, the photo is not clear. But, from the colour, it looks like a Boer goat.

Mayorsky07:
Thanks bro, I actually do take her out in the morning so as to play with other goats within the neighbourhood then returned her to her wood in the night,bt shes too stubborn

Both of you will get to know each other, soon.
She is till very knew in that environment.

The farm has been so blessed this period with bucklings. The more we ship them out, the more the does give birth to more bucklings.
If your farm needs a healthy and active buck (male goat) Let us know.
It is the does that make your farm grow. One billy is enough to serve 30 does.

How I wish they were all does!

I bought a doe on monday,she's doing fine.. Although I wana start with backyard rearing,because of financial capacity. But I dnt really knw the breed,I bought it 4rm an hausa man..I shall add one doe next week

When you want to start your farm, go for breeds the are highly disease resistant and can do well in your environment. Later , you can begin to try out other breeds, with the experience you have gathered.

Please, try and get another doe, so that she will not be lonely.

How much will I be able to buy 1female and 1male goat If starting?

The prices of goats depends on so many factors:
1. Location
2. The financial need of the farmer
3. The breed
4. The viability of the goat
5. The size
6. The productivity of the goat ( some goats give birth to just one kid, some to two and others 3)
7. Some people even consider the colour ( a pure black male goat is usually more expensive than other colours)
8. The seasons/period, etc.

When you want to buy goats, go for the particular goat you want and bargain price with the farmer.
Generally, an average Nigerian Dwaft Goat costs between 7,000 to 25,000

Goat Farming in Africa.
First, build your goat house/pen/barn according the nature of your environment (I will explain this, in another video). Then make sure there is enough playing area for your goats/sheep.

Do not release the ones that just kidded, at the same time with others to avoid stampede.

For those asking if there is market for goats:
Note that, we find it very difficult to meet up to demand. May this December meet you, as a goat farmer!

Most of the bucks/billies/males have been sent to different farms for active duties. Lol!

Hello,

Can you please help me with the dimensions of the wooden feeder?
Thank you

Use any measurement.
You can do 2x8
Or 3x12 for a larger space.
Make as many as possible and put them in different areas of the pen so that they can all eat. If it is just one and they over crowd it, the weak ones may not be able to eat.
Hope you know that we sometimes hang the grasses?

They should send them to Kano.

smlchinaza:
selling this snails is my biggest problem. can anybody hook me up?

Marketing of farm produce has never been a problem. Snails are in high demand in Nigeria.
How many do you have.
Contact us, let's educate you on how to market your snails.

Victornezzar:

Hmmmm.... I thought it's an herculean task ooo

How many Goats should one start with

Start with the numbers that you can afford. It is better than not starting at all.
Get a buck and the number of does that you can. By the end of the year, your does must have kidded, if you have more money, buy more.
You will discover that in two years, you have gotten a reasonable numbers, instead of procrastinating.

Victornezzar:

Marketing them

Who do you sell them to

This is the easiest part.

As at now, I do not even have enough to sell.
I mostly sell to Farmers, who trained with us.
After training, it is advisable to start with goats from the farm, instead of buying from the market.


But, if you sell one goat, per day, to a bar/restaurant, it means that you will be selling out close to 30 goats per day.

Marketing is the easiest part. But, just like every business, it depends largely on the commitment of the owner.

jidestroud:
Nice one. Kudos Boss
Let me park here for now.

Thanks bro.

Goat farming is very easy, if you have someone who is already into it, who you can consult, regularly.

Johnnyessence:

Have you been able to start your snail farm, even of it is for personal consumption?

It is not a difficult venture, Sir.

Good!

Will this BH issue ever end?

This fire wahala is getting out of hand ooo

Good

All is well!


Let me go and check on my goats in the farm.

When getting a Buck/Billy for your does, go for the one that is ready and active enough to do the work.


This buck is doing a wonderful job.

I shall keep y’all updated as I await the resolving of this issue.

Alright.

What an excuse !!!

One bad thing about leaders is that they run to exile, after starting the war.

A good man is a good man, no matter where you are from.

So also a good leader.

The very first set of kids from the farm, sometimes in 2018. We lost the doeling due to inexperience and the buckling is doing its work in another farm.

My farm hand just sent me the video and I made this screenshot.

You can join our FB page for regular update: https://www.facebook.com/Vicomo-FARMS-110939513939391/


The kids are the major profit of your farm.
Take a very good care of them.


Photo 3: 25/7/2020

This crossed buckling is just about 2 days.
It is so big that the doe finds it difficult to breastfeed it. Going under the mother is so difficult. We always assist it to get milk.

Scroll up, you will see the buck that did the job.
A very healthy and active billy.

When you are ready for crossing, we can always advise you on the best way to go.

Goat farming is sweet, especially during kidding period.

The national electricity grid has recorded its first collapse in the year.

The grid collapsed more than 10 times in 2019, causing power failure across the country.

Thank God my goats do not need electricity to survive!

Congratulations to him!

Alright!

I leave this for my opponent to handle.
