How To Succeed In Goat Farming with Small Money

[@caperald]

Fred!!!!!!! you are huge inspiration. I always get geared up watching your videos. I will be very interested in getting pure breed Boer goat from you in the future. Not direct import but from the ones you will be breeding on your farm. Keep up the very good work.

[@FarmingInAfricaOfficial]

Thank you so much and for sure! Will let you know how the breeding goes

[@mpoliwamwampashi3387]

@@FarmingInAfricaOfficial Hi Fred what do you feed the goats where there is no green grass to feed them what do you suppliment? Regards

[@KwameMroh-qz1mt]

God bless you sir. You're really an inspiration

[@frederickotoo2162]

Thank you for this content. Very educative and informative

[@abumoha5157]

Hi Fred, as always, very informative. The only thing I will like to add is that, I am told the gestation period for all types of goat is five months, hence, can only give birth twice a year. However, the content is very educative and I am very grateful indeed.

[@eyeandisinclair821]

AbuMoha you are correct . It is impossible for goats to give birth three times in a year .Gestation period is 145 to 155 days so you will be lucky to get two sets of kids in a year as you have to give allowance for the fact that the ewe wont get pregnant straight after giving birth.

[@kennethnyarko8439]

You have really done well to bring Boer goats to Ghana

[@FarmingInAfricaOfficial]

Yeah Thanks 🙏🏾

[@rofakocatfish9788]

Like the brachiaria grass we talked about.

[@kabutey8132]

Hello Fred we always enjoy ur program 😀👍. We hope u talk about the meat industry in Ghana. Available processing factories in Ghana. Available investors etc

[@mosesnartey3243]

Fred, that's smart, when you cross the boer with cross- breed goats, the results will be great. Also, you could have a separate farm distant from the breeder farm where farmers could bring their doe's for crossing for a fee. Thank you

[@FarmingInAfricaOfficial]

Thank you Sir! Will think about that

[@eyeandisinclair821]

Mosed Nartey people have being doing cross breeding internationally for many years. The best cross is between the nubian ,and the boer .The nubian is best for milk ,and usuall have more than one kid so the kids will have plenty of milk ,and will grow rapidly. The boer ewe doesnt produce alot of milk ,and will struggle to feed more than one kid. In fact the boer ewe hardly give birth to more than a single kid. A word of warning do that cross a boer with a small ewe as the kid will be too small for the ewe's small body ,and she will struggle to give birth . You could end up losing both mother ,and kid.

[@pieterse4075]

@@eyeandisinclair821 not true Boer goats may give one lamb on the first time lambing there after its at least 2 and if you have descent goats thats fed properly they should not have a issue raising the lambs

[@Wakanda543]

I have the same vision as you boss. I’m a sheep breeder in Tamale and there’s this breed in Senegal ( Ladoum ) that I have tried all my best possible to get but it always prove futile. They are fast growers and very costly as well but at all cost I want to get it to improve the breeds we currently have in Ghana. Thanks for your updates always boss but please if you have any links to get me that breed please let me know.

[@FarmingInAfricaOfficial]

I will definitely let you know!!

[@sals1231]

I know how you can get the Ladoum from senegal,I am into sheep and goat farming as well.You just need to go on to KZbin type in ladoum sheep in senegal and it will give you the breeders and their phone numbers.Just try and go to senegal yourself to verify before buying thats all.

[@Wakanda543]

@@sals1231 Thank you boss But I have seen a few people who are willing to sell to me but the problem right now is the transportation

Hi Fred, your videos are very inspiring. You’re doing an amazing job. Kudos. However, you’re yet to share information on the livestock market in Ghana. You were very detailed with such information about your poultry project. I was wondering if you could do something similar with the cattle and goats.

[@FarmingInAfricaOfficial]

Hello Prince, will definitely do that

Hello Mr Fred good day to you over there. Actually i am watching your video for the first time and i find it impressive. What kind of pen would you recommend for a new farmer to construct? Slated floor plan or the other? Do you do open grazing too? I'd like to chat with you directly and make some enquiries. Thanks. Greetings from Nigeria 🇳🇬 .
