Keen goat lovers easily get their Beetals over 100kg and raise them as a side-business. People from different fields, like vegetable vendors, keep 1 or 2 babies near their stall, feed them from left-overs from the market, and after an year sell these for extra income... they fetch much higher rates at the occasion of Eid.

Here we breed them to be big as pack goats. The idea is to get the size for strength and agility. So we want them to have strong legs and muscles. If you want to really succeed with a competition like that you would want an animal that is not only heavy but big and strong! I see what they are going for is the weight, but if you have a big animal to begin with, then breeding (in the long run) for a bigger animal would be the way to start. So get a BIG baby, not just a fat one. And maybe if you want to make extra money, find a doe that is very big and then work on getting bigger and bigger babies.

Mama gives me very big babies. She is big so she doesn't have trouble having her babies. Her two kids are very tall and they will be about 136 kg. when they are full grown even if I don't give them special feed. If I bred her to the biggest meat goat I could find, I could easily get kids weighing 180 - 190 kg. when they are full grown and then feed and exercise them to get a much higher weight. Then breed them to a big doe or buck and get even bigger babies and so on.

Guys here is a buck I raised started raising 2 years back and it was slaughtered last year. Doesn't it look like a Boer goat?

Then I got a baby buck of the Desi breed which is just like Beetal to slaughter it this year.... but the goat was only eating fodder, and living in the city, I can't arrange fodder anyway. So went back and sold it to the guy I got it from

Your goats look great... You have a lot of animals for someone living in the city. I would love to see pictures of all your animals.

Your baby buck looks like he was eating the roses. I see the turkeys in the background. The first picture is a very handsome goat! He has the coloring of a Boer but his legs are much longer. They look very well cared for.

There's some middle eastern blood in Boers (and Nubians) - hence the roman noses, similar color patterns, and long ears.

eta, your goats are gorgeous. I'll seriously pay postage if you can mail me one. (I wish!)

Anybody interested in seeing some pics of local breed bulls I went to see today? They are all going to be slaughtered tomorrow. If you want to, I'll go and take some pics.

Would love to see what local breeds you have.

sure, I'll take some snaps and post the pics here in a couple of hours..... actually these bulls are just the ordinary ones that everyone rears.......The best Pakistani cow breed is SAHIWAL BREED, are you familiar with it? Here is a list of famous Pakistani Cow/Bull breeds:
Sahiwal
Red Sindhi
Dhani
Bhagnari
Sibbi
etc
One of the best breed of Buffalo in the world is Nilli/Ravi, just give it a search on Google, I have 2 of these in my village.. They are very beautiful, have white markings on them, some have pink noses like mine do, and fetch quite a lot of milk.
