I totally agree that goat farming carries its own risks. In fact, you can lose up to 10 goats within a short period of time.

But good planning before setting out will save the day at all times.

Therefore, Don’t undermine the power of a good business plan for your goat farming business.

Having a business plan is essential to the success of every business. It is unwise to go ahead without setting up a clearly defined plan and how you will tackle some predictable challenges when they arise.

Your goat farming business plan may include certain areas like the cost of human and material project inputs (labor, land, goats, feed, sheds, health and other facilities), marketing strategy, competitor analysis, and financial forecast.

Please, ensure that you have one before setting out.
