Goat Project
Cost Of The Goat Project:
Mountain Goats – It is recommended we start with 30 Goats and 4 Billy Goats.
This will keep the scrub down and we can sell the offspring.
Goats cost £20 each, Billy Goats £25 each.
Total cost – approx £700.
Cost of Goat house and watering hole and fencing etc. approx £500 - £700.
Milking Goats – Starting with 5 Goats and 1 Billy Goat
Milking Goats cost £25 each, Billy Goats £25
Total cost approx £150 to start.
The milking Goats will feed on Napier Grass and what we grow on the farm.
They produce approx 4 litres of milk in the morning and 4 litres in the evening – Total of 8 litres per day.
This milk sells for £1 per litre and is a very good return.
The goats normally produce up to four kids per year.
The goats will need housing, a milking shed and tick treatment every week. Plus, fencing cost between £500-£700
