Go for it Fred,your passion matters,and you will have time to find rest,you went through a lot.With education of farming,you will go far,interact with the outside world and there would not be an intervention of(!)...We support your informed decision,go for it!
Ultimately, the decision to move your goats to another location will depend on a variety of factors, including the specific circumstances, financial considerations, and the well-being of your animals. It's important to carefully weigh all the options and seek professional advice to make an informed decision that is in the best interest of both your farm and your goats.
I understand that youve done the math on the animals and thats fine. Your points on bringing foreign sheep is valid as you dont a market for them, on the other hand you didnt have the market for foreign goats until you brought them and started. However your point on not having the passion for them is your biggest point
The only sure way to eliminate the price fluctuations in poultry feed, is to grown your own maize. With adequate irrigation and hybrid varieties, you could achieve 11 tonnes per hectare. So if you dedicate 10 hectares (25 acres) to maize, you could get up to 110 tonnes. If planned well, you could grow maize 3 seasons in one year. That gives 330 tonnes. So assuming your poultry are consuming one tonne of maize a day, you could have 330 days of food from 25 acres of land. The most important point you made is the market. Poultry only makes sense if there's market for the eggs.
Sir, Can you please enlighten us more on how to get 11 tonnes of maize per hectare? I am into maize farming, and we struggle to get 4-5 tonnes per hectare here in Nigeria. Thanks in anticipation of your response.
I do appreciate your thoughtful approach as to why you have chosen not to do cows, pigs, poultry, and sheep. You have done the math and you know the prospects of profitability. I am sure some will see your reflections as Dream Killers. You lost me when you mentioned you have never tried sheep meat. I am sure some can tell the difference in taste, but I am willing to bet that most people can't tell the difference between sheep and goat. Taste has a lot to do with how they were raised and fed. The age of animal also affects taste. A goat or sheep raised in a pen on prepared commercial food will taste distinctly different from on raised one pasture. Knowing the difference does not matter if the perception is that goat is in higher demand than sheep. In closing, I wish you well in your goat business.
Who is manufacturing and processing the farm product. These areas may take a smaller area of land that would be not as problematic and maybe more in demand. Manicuring suitable safe containers, feed, equipments or proper commercial processing of fish, meat, dairy produce and related areas. If farming is your love farming could be done on a much smaller scale. Your returns and the Educational process could be equally important.
My brother we all learned from this farming is the most independent and freedom business in the world never invest it on the land you don't owned period
Well, I think you don’t have to give up on the cattle, but what you need to do is AI which is cheaper than buying and raising, however, they are somehow very expensive to take care of if you doing them on a large scare, All in all, I think your idea of focusing on goat is a very interesting area, the demand is very huge globally from America, Australia, Dubai etc people started to appreciate goat meat less cholesterol.
People with capital should start looking at ostrich export. Ostriches can be fed 60% leafy foods, 20% logumes and 20% fruits. This feed cycle can be self cultivated.
I hope you can sell you farm. The local government should be responsible for the cost of your relocation. The education I can get from this is to not invest in Ghana because them not respecting property rights. If goats were going to be a problem the local government should have pointed this out in the beginning. Are these chiefs collecting property taxes? This is why the world invests in America.
last year the farm got burnt, this year chiefs are banning goats in the farm...I hope you are not scamming people. I have seen a lot of west african con people with churches and I wouldnt be surprised if you did. If this is true, then its a great disappointment for Ghana.
I really love and cherish this man with his cleanest mind, he's not selfish always share's his positive side, God will always continue to bless you
Thank you 🙏🏾
Absolutely love learning from you thank you. May God continue to richly bless you and your beautiful family and your wonderful team.
Thank you so much!
You are the one who feels it you are on the right direction if you have taken a break to come back stronger and we should respect your decision
Thanks

Thanks for this learne
It's my pleasure
Learning, thank you ❤
I'm glad!
A lot of common sense here. Yes, feed is a big issue, sometimes there’s even shortage. That’s why goats and producing own feed was the best.
Exactly 👍🏾

Please We do own the land. It was bought outright, not leased
Mr Fred you can start sheep farming okay 👍

That’s great. Thanks for the info
More important than farming people need to change their consciousness. Can you use the farm for that?
Please what exactly? Can you rephrase for me?
@@FarmingInAfricaOfficial I sent your company a text message.
There is always an opportunity why waste your investment.
He's a farmer by passion. He wouldn't quit for sure.
We will find a way 🙏🏾
Fred, your only option is to move your investment to another location.
Thanks
I disagree with you with the cattle number that your land can contain with you having Brachiria grass
You could have always reduced the cattle number to what your land can contain
Then he would no longer be able to grow.
Please ignore the armchair quarterbacks and do whatever works best for you. You will be fine.
Thank you
I think cattle is more profitable
Compared to all other livestock?
If you breed for genetics in goats its way much net profit than cattle fattening...
@@FarmingInAfricaOfficial yes. That's what I rhink
Yes hybrids can fetch good money just like the South African goats you kept. And they are easy to care for more than goats

Well, this shouldn’t discourage you from investing in Africa at all. It should only be a lesson. Let’s help developing Africa together 💪🏾

Well i am sure he isn't a scam because I have mulatto grass on my pasture thanks to him. I doubt he will scam because of content as well.
Please you are invited to visit our farm in Ghana to confirm. Thanks 🙏🏾
A lot of West Africans who looks IGNORANT like you
@@JN-eq3glyes go and see, seeing is believing. You haven’t seen the air but you believe you breathe it?
@@jam2finds yes that is what I am saying. I have benefited from his establishment.
Thanks to farming in Africa's team
Thank you too 🙏🏾
