This is my "posh car", my "beast", my money making machine. Until such a time when agriculture is really paying me, that is when I will opt for a luxurious vehicle. This "beast"will plough, disc, plant, sort hay bales, spray the crops, pump water,pull the trailers and a lot more.

I have been doing cattle for more than 20 years. The main considerations include:
1. Calving rate (and it is possible to achieve over 75% calving rates). We buy the best bulls and we give them very productive cows.
2. Pen feeding cycles for steers and unproductive cows. 60 day cycles are quite attainable with good feed.
3. Rate of conversion of grass to protein. We have consistently out performed a weight gain of 1kg per day.
4. Cost of feed. We make our own feed. We make silage from natural grasses, cultivated grasses and crops. This helps us reduce the cost of feed significantly.
5. Low mortality rates. We hire the most capable veterinary doctors. We vaccinate our cattle and deep them regularly.
6. TNLT will be subjected to independent audit annually.
7. The listed tokens will only be a fraction of our total herd.
8. I will ask our financial experts to conduct a further review of the coupon prior to listing.
9. I must now thank you for properly raising your concerns and I apologize for having been rude to you.
IDC has funded @KMF Agro Processing, a black-owned integrated meat enterprise based in Lichtenburg. Founded by Dr Obakeng Mfikwe, KMF is driving growth across the red‑meat value chain, as a fully integrated business with a feedlot, abattoir, and processing plant.#IDCFunding
Brahman and Boran are poor feedlot performers. In fact, and Bos indicus type of breed struggles in the feedlot. They put on fat too quickly, not enough mass, slow average daily gains and very poor slaughter percentages.. those are all your key profit makers
@EmmanuelMarume5 Composite breeds are the best in the feedlot, this where the Brahman comes in. It’s the king of hybrids,
Braford, Simbra, Brangus, Beefmaster, and then your other breeds such as Bonsmara, Angus, Simmentaler etc
The details about Dangote's ventures are largely accurate based on multiple sources (e.g., Business Insider, Reuters, YouTube analyses). He did attempt telecom, textiles, airlines, and tomato processing, which faced failures or shutdowns. Flour mills were sold (to Olam for ~$361M in 2019 after earlier buyback from Tiger Brands for $1). Cement, sugar, and refinery succeeded. Minor variances in timelines exist.
@Tatenda_Agro This is nice for motivation, but the numbers are fantasy.
• $350 weaners? Where?
• 5 months of feed for $150 per beast?
• Guaranteed 350kg gains?
Real farmers know pen fattening is not this magical. Let’s be honest with people who want to start livestock businesses.
ZAMBIA has begun beef exports to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The initial beef shipment, valued at US$62,635, is part of Zambia's goal to reach US$1 billion in beef exports by 2030, with Angola and DRC as key markets.
Livestock farmers will earn US$4.5 per kilogramme, half of the US$9 per kilogramme value chain price.
The first shipment to the DRC is scheduled for today, President Hakainde Hichilema revealed at the official opening of the Southern Province Investment Forum and Exposition yesterday.
