New Entrants
If you have land, water and a willingness to learn, this book gives you a structured path from the first purchase through to the first sale — without the expensive mistakes most new breeders make.
The definitive guide to building a profitable goat breeding enterprise in Zimbabwe and beyond — written by a practitioner, for practitioners.
If you listen closely enough, you'll hear the sound of potential, profit and prosperity. This book distils years of hands-on goat breeding, farmer training and enterprise-building into one practical guide — for farmers, entrepreneurs and anyone looking to turn livestock into a viable, respected and profitable business.
It is not a textbook. It is the book I wish I'd had when I started. Plain language, real numbers, and the lessons that only come from doing the work.
From picking your first breed to selling to regional buyers, every stage of the business is covered.
Boer, Kalahari Red, Matebele, dairy breeds and crossbreeds — the strengths, costs and trade-offs of each.
Kraal design, pens, drainage, slatted floors and the layouts that keep a herd healthy and easy to manage.
Browse, pasture, hay, concentrates and mineral licks — how to feed for growth without overspending.
Deworming schedules, vaccinations, hoof care and parasite control — including when to call a vet.
Buck selection, rotation, inbreeding avoidance, kidding records and the discipline that grows a herd.
Cost per kilogram gained, kidding rate, weaning rate, average daily gain — the four figures that tell you whether the business is working.
How to stand out, price your stock, and build the relationships with butcheries, auctions and cooperatives that convert effort into income.
Separating enterprise cash from household cash, planning for the dry season, and preparing for finance.
Cooperatives, farmer groups, shared rams, and the collective approaches that help small farmers compete.
If you have land, water and a willingness to learn, this book gives you a structured path from the first purchase through to the first sale — without the expensive mistakes most new breeders make.
If you already keep goats, the numbers and breeding discipline in this book will help you turn a hobby herd into a real enterprise — and understand exactly where the money is going.
