GOAT HUSBANDRY:
By: Brody Daughrity
Tuesday, April 30, 13
WHAT IT IS:
It simply is the breeding of goats, more specifically
meat goats in my case. It is the selection of genetics
and feeding of your animals.
Tuesday, April 30, 13
SCHOOLING:
Truthfully no education is required.
BUT.. Getting a degree in animal science or Animal
nutrition would be of great help.
The best schooling you can get is through hands on
experiences and trial & error.
Tuesday, April 30, 13
PAYMENT:
Well there is no set payment in this career field. But
there are some ways to find out the cost. So say you
have 35 does that are 3 years old (so they should kid
twins or triplets) and they are of good genetics. We
could figure out some basic math to see around what
you could possibly make.
Tuesday, April 30, 13
MATH..
A healthy doe can kid twice a year. ( 5 month gestation periods)
With twins to say the least for both kiddings. ( Always expect lower numbers, that way if you get
higher you are doing better then you thought.)
So here is the math.
“Have the pregnant does graze a pasture close to your house, so that you can easily check them. If you
supplement your does with a concentrate or hay, feed it at night. Somehow late feeding delays birthing toward
the early morning hours in the majority of animals. It is a good idea to have some kidding pens ready for weak
kids. It is not always easy to detect pre-kidding signs in goats: however, mucous discharge is a sure sign that
kidding is imminent. Following birth, the navel of newborn kids should be dipped in iodine.” ( Smith,2011)
Tuesday, April 30, 13
MATH CONTINUED..
35 (does) x 2 (kids per doe) = 70 (kids)
Now you may lose a few kids (Due to disease,
birthing complications, and predation). So from there
you can predict 60 kids.
Now if your using quality genetics you can
predict quality kids.
So lets say your does are worth
approximately $800 each, and you
have a buck thats worth $1,200
We can predict that your kids would be worth $800-
$2,000
Tuesday, April 30, 13
MORE MATH:
Now you have 60 kids at we will say worth around $800 each.
( To say the least.) Now we will multiply the number of kids by
the their predicted money amount.
Now that is saying you sell does and bucks for the same price
as market wethers. Does and bucks usually go for more money.
(Because of their Breed-ability. )
“According to numbers compiled by the National Agricultural
Statistics Service, meat goat production has risen by some 383
percent over the last decade nationally, from about 590,000 head in
1995 to more than 2.26 “million in 1995.”(Horecka, 2006)
60 (Kids) x $800= $48,000
Tuesday, April 30, 13
2ND QUOTE:
“Boer goats were popular because they wean faster and
heavier than Spanish.” ( Lackey, 2010)
This quote describes a profit based off of this breeds
advantages.
“When you look at the production between Spanish and
Boer goats, the Boer goats are going to grow faster, get
heavier, have a higher average rate of gain and be more
efficient in feed conversion,”
Tuesday, April 30, 13
BENEFITS:
Profits can all be for you.
Working on your own property.
Your the boss.
If its what you love it all is for you.
“Goats don’t require flat ground, they can be kept anywhere making them
easier keeping” (Ryun,2013)
“Plus, people can run a lot more goats in a lot less space. Shurley estimated he could
raise as many as nine goats per unit of land, whereas cattlemen might be able to sustain
one animal in the same area.” (Horecka,2006)
Tuesday, April 30, 13
WHY I WANT TO PURSUE
THIS:
This career is something that I am already pursuing
through the FFA. I love doing it, and it allows me to
combine my mental and physical strengths, and since
you can never breed perfection, you can always keep
going to breed the best you can. It is profitable, and
truly is fun!
Tuesday, April 30, 13
THE IDEAL MEAT GOAT:
Tuesday, April 30, 13
FACTS/QUOTES/
WEBSITES/VIDEOS:
“Americans of Hispanic, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Eastern European, African,
Middle Eastern and Southeastern Asian origin are clamoring for goat meat, as are a
burgeoning number of health-conscious buyers who favor goat meat's lean, high-
protein goodness. However, American producers are so unable to meet those
demands that a staggering amount of chevon (goat meat) is imported each
year.” (Weaver,2006)
“Sixty-three to 65 percent of the red meat consumed globally is goat
meat.”( Weaver,2006)

Tuesday, April 30, 13
CONCLUSION:
This is an extremely beneficial career that offers so
much to the individual who chooses it. I realize that
there are many challenges (such as the rising feed
cost) but despite those I want to overcome those. I
want to breed the ideal meat goat that is functional in
the show ring and in the feed lot.
