Goat Farming: The “Poor Man’s Cow” Driving Rural Income

Goat farming has become one of the fastest-growing livestock activities in Pakistan, particularly in Punjab and Sindh. Goats require less feed, adapt well to harsh climates, and provide both meat and milk.

Progressive farmers are now adopting stall-feeding, vaccination, and improved breeds like Beetal and Kamori to boost production. Goat farming is especially profitable during Eid-ul-Adha, when demand for sacrificial animals peaks.

📌 Takeaway: Small-scale goat farming offers rural families a steady source of income with relatively low investment.
