Goat

As I was saying this morning, we have different livestocks in our farm in Bulacan to help augment the family income.  A few weeks, more specifically, a month and a half ago, we bought 3 goats from the Zobel farm in Calatagan Batangas which we added to the 8 goats that were already in the farm.  We were planning to breed them and sell them either alive or as goat meat.  We went into this because people were saying that there is a big demand for goat and our ROI was going to be pretty fast.  But sad to say, we lost one just a couple of hours ago.  She died giving birth to her 1st buck.  I really feel so down and sad that I want to just pull out all our investments in farming and concentrate in our other business.  But my friend's words just keep on playing in my mind now.  She said "dapat sa ganitong negosyo matyaga ka! Hindi pwede yung pag may konting disappointment ka or failures e susuko ka na agad!"  She even went on saying that when she first ventured into the piggery business, she lost all her initial stocks of pigs to sickness but she never gave up and continued with the business, learning all her lessons in the process.  Now, she earns up to half a million a month just from her piggery business, which is in Batangas and not in Bulacan! =)
