Commercial Agriculture is difficult in northern areas especially the extremely lucrative Fish farming. I must have made enough millions first to ever consider rearing cattle n other Ruminants which I will realize the profits in 3-5 years time. Here in south we fish farmers realize profit almost every day and huge profit every month end. Everyday farmers order for broodstocks, fingerlings and juveniles, on the month end marketers come to buy adult fish of 1kg+ at harvest after 4 months of stocking. Northerners can't do fisheries because they don't have water, Rocky lands.

Please kindly make an update and tag me, when you start milking the goats. I'm in the process of building a goat pen at my farm, currently I have 7 goats at the backyard farm, which I plan to move to the main farm once the pen is completed. I'm interested in milking them.

Also where can I get the milking machine and any idea of the price for both manual and electric type?

Thanks.

Quick update.
Its been 6 months since we started this journey. We started with about 18 goats(13 does and 5 bucks).
We've had 4 deaths so far, 3 were due to administering fake PPR vaccine by a fake vet but thats behind us now.
We have 4 kids now with 5 more about to kid and the goats are doing quite well

Good job.

I'm curious, why did you opt for this type of borehole? Any advantage? I'm working on my livestock farm too.

What is the land size and also like how many goat and cattle do you plan to do... Am planning to do stuff like this but land is my challenge

Kemistri3:



Two arces is how many plots, boss?

teemy:


There is something from cow feces that kills off goats one by one. Makes it look like they are being poisoned. Research this before raising them together.

This is another reason to know that Nigeria youths are not lazy but only those that choose to, what we need is a government intervention. Set up SME to assist both small ,medium and large businesses with great monitoring.

Good security in place so that some unfutunate being won't just badges in there and spoil things or steal.

Well done brother, God bless you.
Hope things has been put in place against snake infraction into the garden? Those idiots can cause damage o.

We got it from Fred(farming in africa guy from YouTube) in ghana. It cost me around 110k for 1kg (quality seed of mulatto II) to get it here in nigeria. Tho I've seen someone selling for around 15k per kg but of course, quality will be different and it wont be mulatto II variant. If you need their contacts, text me on WhatsApp

Smart05:

I searched for it, and someone said he has it at Kwara state, that he got it from Kenya brachiaria mulatto 2.he said the price is 38500 for 1kg,that they don't sell by grams, but by 1kg, but the seed was sealed, wait let me see if I can see the photo

You should consider milking those goats and producing cheese to sell to supermarkets. Nobody is producing goat milk in Nigeria currently, but in the USA Nigerian pygmy goats are highly regarded sources of goat's milk which is more nutritious than cow's milk. You are sitting on a gold mine, my brother, so MILK it for all it is worth.

Goats are FAR more valuable as milk suppliers than having them slaughtered for meat. I have 24 pygmy goats as I speak, but before I start milking them I will allow them all to have one birth before commencing to milk them after their second birth. I have both manual milk pumps and an electric milking machine ready to go when the time comes.

I will soon find out the truth about this question when I start milking my goats. Even though there may turn out to be some validity to your view that the selective breeding of Nigerian goats imported to the USA has created a significant milk productivity difference between the descendants of Nigerian goats imported to the USA, as opposed to those that never left their native homeland, I still remain guardedly optimistic in the sense that even if the milk production I record does not warrant commercial production, I will at the very least produce enough highly nutritious milk and cheese for my personal consumption with perhaps a bit left over to share with friends for free.
