Big mistakes I regret making in my goat farming business as a starter, how to avoid & overcome them

As a starter in goat farming, I faced a lot of challenges most of which would be avoidable if I had enough knowledge on goats as I have now. The beginning is never easy and just like any other business, you will still make mistakes in the start of your farming journey but atleast ensure to limit them by acquiring as much information from experts as possible before you start. In this video, I discuss some of the greatest mistakes I made as a beginner in goats farming business, how to avoid them, what they coated me and how I overcame these challenges to make my farm boom. #goats #goatfarmer #goatfarming #agriculture #farmingtips #goatfarmingbusiness #animals #farm #goatrearing #farminginafrica #agricultureinafrica #agr

I appreciate your efforts and challenges you went through.

[@goatmasterkenya]

Boers normally have lower libido. It's always good to have a young chaser buck to assist the main one in spotting the ones on heat then due to competition, he will want to mark territory. Good job and all the best in your breeding journey

Thank you

[@anthonyluboyera919]

very good advise my brother. I also love your honesty. I have learned alot. I am equally facing the same challenge with my male goat which has no experience in mating due to age and the mating period passed without conception. Let me just wait for the next month just to be sure if nothing happened.

[@thomasmakokoba4876]

You have helped me

[@nabillayoun]

I'm encouraging you from Canada. Minus 30 here is normal for 3 months. I just bought 18 Sannen baby girl goats for milk

[@CheplochDivers_]

I'm a new farmer

[@rasco27]

Where in Canada are you located brother? I am in Toronto and would love to connect.

[@mulengakasonde8570]

So far how many goats do you have in total and when did you start

[@NelsonJossias]

Lessons I learned from this video
Things to avoid:
Buying younger goats
Avoing very younger ones, they should be at least 8 monhs old or more (depending on the breed)
Buying from a different climate
It may bring adaptatgion challanges and diseases issues
Relying on farmers:
All them tell nice stories about their animals and act like they know everything, so don't take everything seriously
Be careful on the buck:
Most farmers sell bucks that have been isolated from does, so they will take time to adapt and starting crossing
Unsafe shelter
Consider protecting animals from the environment.
Thank you for sharing this :)

How do you protect your goat farm from snakes

[@reiykivango4872]

Thank you very much for the insight and share it with the world. I have a passion for Farming and thats what I would like to do in the future. We need to produce more to be able to feed the entire African continent. Congratulations for having started this project and by the grace of God you will prosper. God bless you. I have no knowledge or whatsoever about Farming, however, I am determined thats what I want to invest in the future. Whats your advice? How to start? I am from Angola. Born and raised. Thank you. Do you do colab or partnership?

[@ladmixedfarm]

Hi there, it is good that you have that determination. We can engage more using the number displayed on the RUclips screen. That way I will be able to understand what resources are available at the moment and advise on the way forward.

[@samuelkamunge7450]

Great learning points. Do you have Kalahari reds in addition to the boer goats

[@ladmixedfarm]

Not yet

[@okotjacob8113]

Thanks for a good advice 🙏where can I find you coz l need to rich on farm if possible

[@ladmixedfarm]

We are based in Nwoya district, northern Uganda

[@alituhatonny8172]

hello .am starter but i want to start buying my first stock

[@kadodong6578]

It is natural of my local goat and breed into boer,and the offspring is always folded or backwards ears?

[@ladmixedfarm]

Indeed, as you continue crossing your goats with a 100% Boer he-goat, they will eventually have features like a Boer goat.

[@AngelineTIBWITTA]

I'm also a new farmer with one female that has just given birth. Should I therefore get two males now, so that they get used to the female and it is easier for them to mate when she is on heat?

[@ladmixedfarm]

One male is enough. Try getting more females as well

[@AndrewLander3]

Thank you for sharing. Very informative. Greetings from Canada and Philippines!! Stay strong.

[@gabanatshwaromantswemabe714]

Morning sir i have been watching at your vedio i learned a lot from you about goats farming we are almost the same but i want to vist your country to bench mark from you gus tell me how safe is your country in terms of violence? How peacefull is your country

[@ladmixedfarm]

Uganda is a peaceful country. Take heart.

[@jamesdadaalfred7270]

I'm from yei south Sudan and i have the passion for goat farming and before i start do you have special training for the bigginers

[@ladmixedfarm]

Yes. Get in touch using the whatsApp number on the video and know the cost involved.

[@geoffreyarnold8066]

I would like to have a voice chat. Thanks

[@wakaranja2304]

Hi i am from kenya can you keep goats in cold areas

[@ladmixedfarm]

Yes you can. Ensure that you build a raised goat structure for them. They thrive well under good housing conditions. We also support farmers to build raised goat structure. For further discussions you can reach us using the whatsApp number on the screen.

[@muhammedfitnessgrema3139]

I bought 10young females and that was a very big mistake

[@itelvinacruz9521]

Why do you say that. Is it because they are too young

[@muhammedfitnessgrema3139]

@@itelvinacruz9521 yes they are too young imagine them spending over 5month before they started kidding

[@itelvinacruz9521]

@@muhammedfitnessgrema3139 thanks i agree it was a very good lesson for me

[@ifeanyiezenwa1360]

You said you made a mistake by bringing young female goat for briding so which one do you suppose to buy because I want to buy my own goat too so tell me the one to buy

[@ladmixedfarm]

Aim at buying females that have reached mating stage. Those mature enough to produce. Avoid young female goats that need more time before serving them with a hegoat.

[@akugizbwerichard2331]

How much is a mature goat per now

[@ladmixedfarm]

Highbreed is 3M for males 100% blood line. We don't have them on our farm but other farms have them.
