Hi guys, FOR THE LOVE OF FARMING.
UPDATES ON BOER GOATS IMPORTING !! .
I have recieved an email from a Boer goat exporter company in South Africa. Interesting enough they are quite cheap the problem is, there is a minimum order of 50 goats, @SeruyaFarm @I_am_Gathoni @mkulimayoung

See attached email below...

Hello Respected Brother,
Thanks very much for your interest in our goats.Our esteemed company is willing to establish a long business transaction with you and also we are willing to supply you with our best quality Boer 100 % goats. ......THREAD

Please clarify the following:1 Are the goats for breeding or for slaughter,2- Are the goats for sacrificial purposes.3- A Boer goat is a Landrace animal, hence the export is regulated by an Act. Any export must be sanctioned by the Boer goats bred Society & the Ministry of Agric

CIF Price : USD $ 25 per head

Minimum order quantity: 50 heads
Weight : 40-80 kg Age: 1 year

MEANING : 25×50×108=135,000 Kes to Mombasa Port. Custom duty about 55,000Kes , Total landed cost = 190,000Kes . Transport to your home 10,000 , let sum up everything to 200,000Kes.

200,000Kes for 50 Heads of Full blood boer may seem Expensive but let me make it easier/ cheaper for you. You can partner with like minded persons , let say 10 partners this means each of your will put 200,000/10 = 20,000Kes @ for 5 Full blood Boers @. Thats a fare deal😀

Please note that they are Full blood note pure breeds meaning their level of heterosis is higher when crossed to natives also you can engage in exchange program with your partners in future , where you will exchange bucks(male) & Does (female) to prevent inbreeding.
All the best.

This is the name of the company and website lotaremandgeneraltradingptyltd.com . Please be adviced before importing pay through safe means & one of the best means of payment is ALIBABA.COM ask the distributor if they have an ALIBABA ACCOUNT

then pay via ALIBABA, they compensate if the distributor flee , or you can ask your bank to assist you and they will advice you on the best means of payment.

Hope this information was of benefit to you. But remember is you are starter in goat farming start with indigenous Breeds

Start with the indigenouse breeds then after you have got enough experience you can go to exotic breed like boer, kalahari reds and white savanna .

one more thing i forgot, importing anything require a company and license .

Importation of live animals is different from Importation of electronics , machine and spares where all you need is a registered company . Live animal importation is Regulated hence there are some Legal formalities that you will have to comply with .

One of the legal Formalities includes Import permit for cattle . Import permit for breeding cattle (VS03)
is valid for a period of ninety (90) days and is processed through the Kenya National TradeNet System (KESWS) kentrade.go.ke .

For more information on how to obtain an import permit for cattle intended for breeding, click on the link. kentrade.go.ke . Usishtuke/dont be afraid, there is always an easier way of doing things .Let me save you the hustle, import through a reputable freight forwarder

Visit Reputable freight forwarder and ask them if live animals importation is within there scope consult with them before paying then let them take care of everything for you. From importation to good clearing to transporting of your animals to your site .

Your animal imports must be accompanied by a veterinary health certificate from the country of origin to ascertain that the animals are healthy and disease free. probably your forwarder will request all the relevant document on your behalf but its good to know the basic.
