Visit to KTL Farm Sdn Bhd
I got to know about KTL from their web site, which I found by going through some of the goat listings in the Directory.
We are looking to have a relationship with one of the bigger farms so as to have a dependable regular supply of goats. Of course, the price would have to be at a level that would allow us to have a decent profit also.
We contacted Mr. Hee who was most cooperative and made an appointment to meet him on a Sunday at the farm in Segamat. Though I have lived in Segamat for a couple of years in the late 90’s, I did not know the location of the farm.
Zai and I met Mr. Hee along the road at Buluh Kasap and followed him to the farm.
The farm is very big, I think it was 300’ x 70’. Very clean and there was no odour associated with so many goat farms.
Mr. Hee showed us around the farm (about 14 or 16 acres in size), situated amongst rubber plantations owned by other smallholders.
The farm has a population of more than 600 goats, well sorted out in clean airy and labelled pens. The species we saw were Boer and Ferals.
Zai at one of the pens at KTL Farm. Notice that the feeding trough are made of canvas. This makes them easy to clean.
We did some discussions on prices and did not come to an immediate agreement. Mr. Hee promised that he would get back to me soon on whether he could meet our requirements.
I think KTL Farm looks like one of the best organised and managed farm I have seen so far. I hope that some sort of mutually beneficial arrangements can be reached with KTL for my long term supplies.
