Childhood Goat Rearing Love Turned Into Successful Commercial Goat Farming Business

I am Altaf, from Fatehpur Sikri, Rajasthan. I was born in 1992 and I have come from a very humble family background, where my father Shri Ayyub Khokar was a laborer. Due to financial crisis I had to drop my education after 7th. From my childhood I was very fond of goats and loved nurturing them. We had four goats in our house for milk and meat purpose.  In 2013, I thought of turning my goat love into goat farming. So, I started from 20 goats and today I have 300 goats in my farm.

I sell my goatery products in UP, Bihar, Rajasthan, and Mumbai. I provide natural fodder to the goats and also take care of all the goats myself. Sometimes I hire worker on the spot, if I need extra pairs of hands in my work. And in future, I am planning to expand my business and add more varieties of goat breeds in my farm.

According to me, a farmer should never give up. Because God always gives opportunity to everyone, you just have to grab it. So, use your passion as driving force and startup on your own. Your skill can help you in deciding what you want to do in the future.
