Goat fattening is always profitable as compare to sheep farming,goats especially osmanabadi has very less diseases as compare to sheeps and any other goats,it has lean meat as compare to sheep has high protein contents and less fats.Goat meat has great demand in local markets.

Hi Shekar,

What I heard is, fattening is the safe one to start with, if you are new to sheep forming. Breeding needs good expertise in life cycle management of sheep. Breeding have more challenges to deal with than fattening( Like taking good care in pregnency and deseage during pregnency and mortality... etc )So it's better to start with fattening till you get good expertise in handling sheeps...

This is not from my experience... This is the information I gathered from experience people... If you need more details drop a mail to venkat.konda@gmail.com. We can share our experience as I am also planning to start sheep form shortly...

Thanks, Venkat

As per profit issue,breeding is more profitable than fattening,but it requires experience and well management.Yes venkat101 is absolutely correct,breeding requires expertise and have to take all necessary precautions till birth of kids and even after birth.A farmer(worker) having one to two goats previously in his/her house can easily take care of breeding goats,if he/she is honest.You can insure the breeding goats to avoid any loss.
