Lessons Learnt
Around 70% of the goat and sheep in the country are reared by small and marginal farmers and landless households. While sheep rearing is most often the primary source of livelihood for shepherds, who often belong to distinct communities (for example the Raikas of Rajasthan, Dhangars of Maharashtra, Kurubas of Karnataka) goat rearing is a supplementary, support activity for other livelihoods, particularly agriculture. Sheep are reared in relatively larger herds (averaging 60-70) whereas goats are reared in smaller numbers (9-10). Goat rearing is also characterized by a greater involvement of women.

Recently Sandeep has expanded his enterprise to include the supply of goats of the Sirohi and Totapuri breed to interested buyers. The demand for these breeds is higher as they are sturdy, easily acclimatize to local conditions and gain weight even with minimal feeding.
