Raising Goats for Meat Successfully

Article Category: Advice

Author Name: Kellie

At present, the demand for goat meat is about twice as much as the local supply. In addition, there are a few collateral benefits that come with goat farming or breeding like controlling weeds and improving pastures. For this reasons, raising goats for meat is currently a good business venture. Moreover, raising goats for meat requires low capital investments and relatively easy care. The few things the farmer will have to busy himself with when raising goats will be fencing his pasture, controlling parasites, and marketing his products. That said, it should however be noted that while farming goats is profitable, it is not a quick way to get rich. In addition, the prospective investor in the goat meat business should be well equipped with substantial knowledge about the enterprise.

This good knowledge base will be put to use in deciding certain aspects in the business, the first of which is accounting. Make a budget for your initial enterprise taking into consideration the market condition, the costs of production and the overall economic feasibilities. The next step is fencing. You can either use barbed wire or electric fencing. Make sure that the enclosure is strong and secure enough to prevent your livestock from straying but not too restricting that will physically hurt them.

Next is housing. This is not very complicated . The process is actually very pragmatic; if it works then it is probably good enough. In moderate climate, natural covers are sufficient shelters. A four to six foot high shed will be an adequate shelter from rain or snow. In any case, a good guiding rule would be to secure at least five square feet per goat as night shelter. It is also important to take the unwelcome predators in consideration. The closer your pen or cage is to the house, the less prone it is to attacks.

The next step would be to fill these houses in. If you are raising goats for meat remember to make this the principal consideration when choosing the breeds. There are certain breeds of goats that are raised specifically for milk or for meat. For example, the Angora goat is a good choice of breed for meat. The downside is that they do not thrive as well in colder climates. The Boer, albeit expensive, is most popularly bred for meat. This is because they grow faster, pack on a lot of meat as they do and are generally easier to rear because of their milder disposition compared to other breeds. There are certain breeds that you should stay away from when breeding for meat. The Tennessee Woodenleg breed is one of them. This breed tends to have tough muscles which do not make for very good goats meat for dining. A good deal of researching should serve this purpose well.

When raising goats for meat you should keep in mind that you will ultimately have to market these products and should therefore make sure that they will be of good quality. The best way to market any product is always through customer satisfaction. This is the last juncture of your business and will ultimately determine its sustainability. Make sure that you deliver quality meat by taking proper care of your livestock and being a diligent entrepreneur.
