Starting a goat and sheep dairy in South Africa offers a strong opportunity for farmers who want to enter the livestock sector with a focus on high value products. Demand for goat milk, sheep milk and related dairy products continues to grow due to their nutritional benefits and suitability for people with lactose sensitivity. The industry also supports rural development by creating jobs and promoting small scale farming enterprises.
