Growing the Farm
A five year plan from 4.67 acres at Isinya to a mature livestock farm, with feed added before animals at each step.
Housing, water, handling and feed systems built and in use, with modest numbers while the farm learns its animals, ground and market.
Keep the best females, improve the breeding stock, grow more feed, and start making silage in quantities that matter.
Additional fodder land begins supporting stronger herd growth. Finishing becomes regular and breeding numbers rise.
Larger breeding groups and finishing batches, more stored feed and more farm gate buyers, based on what worked in the first three years.
A substantial Galla, Dorper and cattle operation, supported by owned land, leased fodder land and external grazing.
More feed first. More animals afterwards.
These are long term goals. Reaching them depends on feed, land, water, staff and how the animals perform.
Goals, reached only if the feed is there first
