And how much will it cost to Rear 2-4 goats

For ease. Just go for the short african goats.

2months old
Male is about 8-10k
Female is about 10-15k

They eat cassava and yam peels (like 200naira per bowl) go for the sack. Should be like 5k

If u have a field around, u can tie them there to feed.

If u plan on ranching even better

Coz d rate dem dey move goats now. E worry

Lol.
We absolutely don't value what we have. Those Nigerian Dwarf goats are rated high milk producers for tropics among normal goats. Also, I prefer the cos they are the best and healthiest meat for me as far as I know presently, except I am not aware that small scale local goat farmers too are already using steroids or chemicals to grow them. These breeds are in North America and EU.

If you want to start, bro, start with a good Nigerian breed. You may even buy different Nigerians breeds. You will still sell them off. Use them to learn about goat rearing. This same breed you posted if you feed it well, and you can get free pastures (you may even cultivate plants for it too), you will do well when you want to expand. You wont need to consult any of those hungry consultants around like .......I have 1 million naira...bla bla bla...give me agro investment ideas threads that scammers operate to lure newbies. I used to burst those kind of threads in those days, but when I realised that NL mods are criminals, I backed off.

If you know you are genuine and also not trying to use a coded style to bring forward goat foreign breeds you dont have so you can sell invisible breeds, then, follow the advice you have been given.

Start with Nigerian breeds at your backyard, and get foreign breeds when you have the money and technical ability to maintain them. Going for those foreign breeds when you are still at backyard level is absolutely not wise.

Goodluck!

I guess he was talking about acceptability between the northern goats and our very own "common" Nigerian dwarfs grin. Honestly, as someone who bought both Sokoto red northern goats and our own local goats, I will advise you to start with local breeds and learn the ropes before going ahead to get the northern goats if you still want to. Reason is that our own local goats rarely fall ill or get affected by weather and are visibly stronger than the northern goats.

By the way, our common West African dwarfs/Nigerian dwarfs are more rated overseas than here in Nigeria. They are even being sold as expensive pets cheesy.
