Lesson 10 - The Economics Of
Goat Keeping

More people consume goat meat and milk than meat and milk from cows. It is because there are more goats than cows in the regions of the world that are mountainous, arid, or semi-tropical. Goat can survive on scarce grass and brush in an environment where there is scarce grain resources needed by dairy cattle to survive. At times, goat production is done as an adjunct to cattle production as a way of controlling obnoxious weeds and brush to improve pastures for cows and other livestock.

Maintaining a herd of goat is far more economical than maintaining a herd of cow, often times with almost the same economic benefit. For a small scale farm production, goat keeping is far easier and economically rewarding than keeping a herd of cows. Meat goats are generally easy-care animals and can be raised with very little grain supplement and minimal shelter.

Demand for goat meat is currently about double the domestic production so there is, definitely, an ample room for people who are interested to venture into goat meat production. But while goats may be enjoyable to raise and goat raising may be profitable, doing so is not a "get rich quick" proposition. The road to successful goat raising may be long and full of woes, especially to people who are yet to learn the tricks of the trade. As with any farming endeavor, knowledge and skills will be necessary before any degree of success is attained. Also, before anybody commits himself to goat production, he must first investigate market conditions, estimate costs, and draw a budget estimate. The most important consideration that must be taken into account by a prospective goat producer is his target market. The presence of ethnic population that demands goat products in the area will be a plus.
