These prices you quote - are they available with you? Or anyone else you can recommend?
I am not in West Bengal. I am in Maharashtra though.
Backyard small livestock production, country chicken and duck farming; indigenous cow, goat and pig rearing ; pond based fishery etc. are the very common and traditional practice in almost every rural household of West Bengal for subsidiary income .
Goat farming in West Bengal is mainly for meat purpose.
Among the various meat producing indigenous goat breeds of India - Bengal Black ( West Bengal ) and Gunjam ( Odisha ) are the most preferred goat breeds in West Bengal for their high proficiency ,superior chevron ( meat ) quality , best skin quality , early sexual maturity , low kidding interval , multi kidding and good adaptability .
These two breeds are reared either by individual farmers with their own or for Kolkata based wholesaler live goat traders on contract.
Other breeds i.e. Jakhrana , Jamunapari , Sirohi, Beetal , Totapuri , Assam Hill etc . are also reared by the farmers for intra state live goat traders . .
Karnataka and Mumbai based two Indian goat cheese start-up brands having contract goat farms in west bengal to procure fresh goat milk from the goat farmers and manufacture their branded signature Goat cheeses in their own production units .
Yes , I can help you connect you with local goat farmers or Govt Goat breeding farms .
Price is more or less same in the both source except quantity . Min. order quantity from govt farm is 20 and from the farmers house you can buy 1 animal as well .
For transportation of live animals through daily train service ( Howrah – Mumbai ) is only option .
