Guildlines in setting up a Goat farming
- You need pasture by possession or acquiring a very good grazing ground, that can grow or produce varieties of good grass in large quantity. Goats are one of the clean animals amongst other animals, so they don't just eat anyhow but eat what gives them nutrient i.e what is nutritious to their bodies.
I will advise you to get a very large land that is spacious, because goat don't like overcrowded environment or condition. So, make sure you have enough acres of land for your goat so as to move freely without obstruction. - Build a short perimeter fences round the pasture or you use barbwire to construct your fencing so as to protect them from external forces and from going out of the pasture. Fencing protect them from roving dogs, coyotes, bears etc.
- Construct or build a comfortable house for the goats, so as to keep them against the falling rain and other climate factors. Goat love perfect weather conditions. Build a very spacious and comfortable house for your goats to give them some level of privacy.
- There are different species of goat suitable for reading. Some goats are suitable for meat production, some are suitable for milk production, while some are suitable for fiber. Before you start goat farming check the availability of the goat in your location or country. And choose the aspect that will profit you.
- Finally you will need a veteniary doctor for periodic check up and vaccinations. This is very prominent in goat farming so as to reveal hidden deadly diseases in your animal.
In conclusion, goat farming to me is known poverty killer. It is indeed a very good business anyone can venture into.

Great content! I raise hogs now but I'm looking at raising meat goats here in Ia. I saw most of the goat meat is imported into the US. I want to get in on some of the profit. I have a huge pasture with an old red brick barn attached, it should be perfect for keeping them protected from the elements. Do you suggest getting a sheep dog and raising it with the goats as to protect them from predators? I have heard that works well if the pup grows up with the goats. I'm going to follow you, feel free to return the favor. I post similar content. Thanks
