Rear dairy goats with a buyer and management plan for the intended milk or breeding offer.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional seven-day milk-selling trial from three existing identified dairy does, not an instruction to buy unassessed animals. The example ledger measures 30 litres in total, reserves eight litres for the farm agreed kid-care plan, holds two litres from sale, and records twenty litres accepted by an authorized milk buyer. These are invented accounting quantities, not expected yield. Sell only under the qualified animal-health, milk-hygiene and Kenyan dairy-compliance arrangements appropriate to the actual operation; no therapeutic milk claims.

Who is the first customer?

Households or dairy buyers whose requirements are verified.
