Time to go commercial? - Felicity Stockwell looks at just how easy it is to take the next step with your goat herd

THERE comes a time in your goat herd when you might have produced several females, all producing milk when you think "it would be nice to sell some of this white stuff" or you may be thinking that perhaps you would like to add to your existing goats and get some sort of return from them. This, of course, could encompass meat and skins too. This article is aimed at the smallholder and not at those who might be considering a large herd of several hundred goats.
