Goat Farming is Expanding!

(Above - Goat houses and goats).

Goat farming is expanding in Warakamb, PNG. The first goats were introduced into the Warakamb Valley about 12 years ago. Since then, goat raising has expanded a lot. Previously, mainly the Adventists Pastors families were involved. Since then, ordinary Adventists and recently non Adventists have been involved. There are better houses for the animals, better care, and better use of the waste. The waste are used on vegetable patches, a good substitute for fertilizer. Currently, it is estimated that there is almost five hundred or more goats in the Warakamb valley. Villagers make use of the bigger male goates and keep the female ones for propagation. Eventually, people can use goats to help in farming, transport etc. For help with that or more information, contact info@waeca.com.
