Our stock of goats
After completing the basic infrastructure for the farm, we got in our first stock of goats in June 08. This was followed by another batch in July 08.
We now have 52 goats on the farm of which 5 are kids, four of which were born on the farm.
The species are local kambing katjang and some goats which have been crossed.
In their kandang
They are kept in their kandang and every day let loose for about 3 – 4 hours for their exercise. They exercise in an enclosed area and wander around. They always come back as they know they’ll be fed in their kandang.
Having their daily dose of “freedom” and exercise
Over the last 2 months, we have got used to the natural rhythm of the goats, understanding their feeding habits, common sicknesses, births, quarrels etc.
The 2nd two kids born in our farm. Both are males and exactly as their mum’s colour. They are about 2 weeks old today.
We have just started our sales. For the time being, its by word of mouth. Ever since we started the work on the kandang and the associated infrastructure we have had enquiries. We are following up on these enquiries and slowly build up our customer base, Insya’Allah.
it’s nice to see that u’r goats get their daily dose of free grazing. when i get some goats that’s definitely what i’ll do too!
Thanks for dropping by, Natasha. Hope your plans are going well. Do keep us updated, ok?
