When viewed superficially, goat farming seems elementary. However, commercial Boer Goat farming (any livestock farming essentially) requires a significant level of planning, production management, projections and other aspects in order to operate as efficiently and profitably as possible. This course on Developing a Production Plan will show you what aspects need to be considered, what activities need to be applied to which group of animals how and when, in order to meet a predetermined objective.
Description
This Economics of Livestock Farming course will provide the farmer with an understanding of the economic factors that are vitally important in making a success of his business. Farming is a demanding occupation. It is capital intensive, generally has a low return on fixed investment, has a long period before financial breakeven is achieved and is subject to the vagaries of the climate, over which the farmer has no influence. In addition, the agricultural sector is a price taker not a price maker. It requires dedication, perseverance, a hands-on approach, significant skill and experience in order to achieve success.
