Successful start-up from 4 breeding goats

In Tay Son village, Long Son commune, Dak Mil district, Ha Van Cuong (Nung ethnic group) is known as a young man who is good at economics . With the model of raising goats for meat and breeding, he has a stable income of tens of millions of dong per month.

Mr. Ha Van Cuong is successful with the model of raising goats for meat.

The journey of starting a business for the young Nung man is an impressive one. From the initial 4 breeding goats, Mr. Cuong's goat farming model now maintains a herd of about 300 goats, with a well-invested barn system.

In particular, not only enriching his family, Mr. Cuong also actively supports relatives and friends in implementing the goat farming model, contributing to promoting local socio-economic development.

Mr. Cuong shared that after finishing high school, he went to Binh Duong province to work as a factory worker. After 2 years of working, he realized that his salary was just enough to live on, not enough to make ends meet, so in 2017, he decided to return to his hometown to do business.

“When I returned to my hometown, I started my business by raising goats. With the 15 million VND I saved, I bought 4 goats to raise. At first, due to lack of experience, raising goats was very difficult, the goats grew slowly, reproduced poorly, and the output was not favorable…”, Mr. Cuong recalled.

In 2017, Mr. Cuong started his business with a capital of 15 million VND and bought 4 breeding goats.

After many challenges, Mr. Cuong's goat farming business has become more favorable. In 2020, he was able to borrow policy credit capital, supporting young entrepreneurs with an amount of 100 million VND. The capital has helped him invest in expanding the model, gradually developing the goat herd in both quantity and quality.

Mr. Cuong said: “With capital, I built a more solid barn. In addition to natural food, I also feed the goats pellets to help them grow evenly.”

The highlight of Mr. Cuong's goat farming model is the well-invested, high and airy barn system. The barn has separate compartments for each type of goat such as breeding goats, meat goats, etc. The separation is to avoid collision between goats and to balance the appropriate amount of food for the goats.

“Thanks to proper care, the goats are always healthy, grow quickly, and have few diseases. On average, my family earns 30-40 million VND per month from selling goats for meat and about 40 million VND per year from fertilizer from raising goats,” said Mr. Cuong.

Ms. H'Nera's family received support from Mr. Ha Van Cuong to develop goat farming.

Not only trying to enrich his family, Mr. Cuong has supported and helped some relatives and friends develop a goat farming model, including Ms. H'Nera's family (living in the same village).

Ms. H'Nera said that in 2019, she and her husband decided to invest in goat farming. During the process, her family received support from Mr. Cuong for breeding animals, guidance on raising techniques, disease prevention, and finding outlets...

According to Ms. H'Nera, raising goats does not take much time and has a stable source of income.

Ms. H'Nera confided: "Raising goats does not take much time to care for. With about 200 meat goats, my family only spends about 2 hours a day to collect grass for the goats to eat. The rest of the time, my husband and I still go to work on the farm as usual. Currently, our goat raising model is supported by Mr. Cuong in terms of output and consumption, so the family economy is becoming more and more stable."

Mr. Nguyen Dinh Long, Vice Chairman of Long Son Commune People's Committee, assessed that Ha Van Cuong is a dynamic, creative young man who dares to think, dares to do and has the desire to rise up. The goat raising model and Mr. Cuong's social contributions have contributed to arousing the awareness of self-reliance and entrepreneurship among local youth and actively contributed to the task of building new rural areas of the commune.
