Brief Summary

This video is about goat farming, highlighting its potential as a low-capital, high-reward endeavor, especially with a readily available food source. The video shares practical tips for successful goat farming, including cleanliness, strategic reassignment of goats based on their needs (separating territorial males and mothers with babies), and the importance of iron injections for young goats. The farmer expresses his goal to reach 100 goats by 2024 and touches on aspects like breeding, the preference for horned goats in the local market due to Muslim traditions, and the plan to introduce milk goats for additional income.

  • Goat farming requires low capital if you have a food source.
  • Cleanliness and strategic goat reassignment are important.
  • Iron injections help young goats.

Introduction to Goat Farming

The speaker introduces goat farming as a recommended farming endeavor due to its low capital requirements. The initial investment is primarily for housing, with ongoing costs minimized by having a good food source. The speaker shares his experience of successfully managing a goat farm for 6 to 7 months, emphasizing that goat farming is best when there's a readily available food source.

Essential Tips for Goat Farming

The video transitions into providing tips for successful goat farming, starting with the importance of cleanliness. The speaker highlights the use of iron injections for baby goats to boost their strength and survival. The video demonstrates the reassignment of goats, moving a territorial male named Rudy to his own space and grouping mothers with babies together in a larger cubicle.

Goat Reassignment

The speaker practically demonstrates the reassignment of goats within the farm. A mother goat is moved to a bigger space for comfort, and Rudy, the territorial male, is relocated to an exclusive cubicle since it is not yet breeding season.

Breeding and Prolificacy

The speaker notes the farm's success in producing six kids from five mamas in a short period, attributing it to the readily available food source and proper housing. He expresses surprise at the high percentage of male offspring and invites viewers to share insights on this phenomenon. The goats are seen eating grass, and the speaker mentions his decision not to dehorn them.

Market and Future Plans

The speaker explains that most of the goats are first-time mothers, except for a brown goat that has delivered babies three times. He clarifies that these native goats are not for milk production, which is why he plans to acquire Ang lovian breeds for selling goat milk. His goal is to have 100 goats by 2024, driven by the belief that consistent effort turns dreams into reality.

The Life of a Goat Farmer

The speaker emphasizes the low maintenance and cost-effectiveness of goat farming due to the free availability of grass. He encourages viewers with unused land to consider converting it into a goat farm, contributing to food security. The video concludes with a call to subscribe for regular updates.

0:06 [Music] hi guys it's a beautiful day once again and welcome back to Dexter world channel one of my friends asked me which among those farming endeavors that you would like to recommend I answered him directly straight to his eye it's goat farming because goat farming will not entail you big Capital you will invest only once for the [Music]

0:52 housing and all the rest will be for free if you have the best source of food and this is what happened in this project I was hesitant before if I could carry out goat farming but since we already had the experience for at least 6 to 7 months I can now say that goat farming is one of the best if you have food source so today's activity I would like to reveal to you some of the tips on how to go about go farming of course we know that cleanliness is one of the basic method in order to achieve your goal which is to produce your goats and to make them plenty but there are some

1:38 tips that I would like to reveal to you including the injection this injection is actually iron that will help our baby goats recover especially if they are still very young they can immediately get that strength and be able to survive without issues about their health and we will do some reassignments of the goats here this B will be placed here Rudy will be placed over there because he is now very Territorial and you look at Rudy is already very big so we will transfer Rudy at the exclusive place right there and then all the mamas that have babies will be placed in here in this big cubicle

2:27 [Music] so this mama will be transferred right right there so that they will enjoy the bigger space and Rudy will repl here come on [Music]

3:23 here okay it's all right it's all right m [Music] it's not yet the breeding season that's why we have to put this Rudy in an exclusive cubicle because we will not use him yet very naughty no no no no [Music] okay that's your place

4:08 [Music] put take down [Music]

5:07 so guys you can see here that out of 1 2 three four five mamas we were able to produce six kids this multiplication just done in a short period of time and you will see that we already have many goats so this business as what I've said is actually good and the number one consideration is the source of food and the housing and these are the two things which are very important when we engage in Goat farming and you will see now that we are about to win this babies and in a matter of another 6 months from now we're going to be seeing again dozens of babies already so I'm

5:53 just quite surprised why we were able to produce um 90% male kids only one actually is a female all the rest are already male I don't know what's the reason behind for this but maybe because of the season I don't know if you have knowledge about this you can also educate me why these things are [Music] happening and you will hear that they're eating a crunchy grass m is that delicious and the kids are beginning to eat their grass as well M and it's good

6:39 to dehorn our goats but in my case I never dehorn them because uh this is one of the you know um requirements of a blameless goat for our Muslim brothers so the market here for the goats is quite fast if they have horns so that's the reason why I did not dehorn [Music] them all these goats are first timers except this brown one meaning that it's a first time to born babies but this one which has two kids the brown one is not anymore first timer because this has deliver babies three times already but

7:26 these native goats are not for milk because this uh goats will only produce milk that will only good for the babies they cannot produce extra that's the reason why I have to get some milking goats like the Ang lovian breeds so that they will be able also to provide us with another business which is to you know selling goats milkk and my desire is to have 100 goats for this year 2024 and this uh desire is actually very ambitious but since we keep going then that would be possible because here in life if you will desire for things and you will not stop dreaming about it and

8:13 making some small steps towards your goal then chances are those dreams and goals will really become materialized these goats are just like humans if they are already tamed then they can even eat without hesitation even with your presence look at this kids very cute kids and they are not and they don't have F smell M the the fragrance of the babies are just like humans You Know M see oh what's that no that's my t-shirt [Music]

9:13 so this is the life of a farmer and you guys will understand what I'm talking about that all these grasses are for free all these grasses can be just taken any time without spending money so this is it and you will understand that goat farming and this setup will become lucrative because of low maintenance and I hope that you're encourag with this video and if you have that vast of property vast track of land that's our baren and use you can convert that into a big goat farm and this encouragement would help us of course maintaining the food security of our nation in particular and the whole world in general so I would like to see in video
