RE: 2 Minutes with the Farmer: Goat Economics 101
So if I am following your numbers correctly the first year profit would be about $50.00 per doe. Then $250.00 profit per year after that.
What breed goat would you recommend? Also how many years can a doe be bred before you sell her?
Do you keep a buck with the herd (or is it flock?) and just let nature take its course or do you keep the bucks separate.
Here I am asking a bung of questions again ;)
Anyway tanks for the video and info.
You are correct. The doe pays for herself after one year. The average production years on our farm are 8 years.
I really like the kiko breed they are pretty hardy and do well left alone.
We put our bucks in with does at the beginning of December the. They will kid 5 months later. We separate bucks from does so we have all kids within 45 days.
Keep the questions coming
