Want to know realistic yearly profit from a 100 goat unit before I invest.
How much profit can a 100 goat farm give in a year?

Goat farming profit varies a lot with breed, feed cost, kid mortality and selling rate, so treat any number as indicative, not a promise. With a 100-goat (mainly doe) unit on low-cost grazing plus some supplementary feed, a well-managed farm can sell the kids each year and earn a reasonable net profit, but poor management, disease (especially PPR and enterotoxaemia) and high feed cost can wipe it out. The biggest profit levers are keeping kid mortality low, twinning, cheap green fodder or grazing, timely deworming and vaccination, and selling at festival demand like Bakrid. Sell breeding stock and manure as extra income. Make a proper DPR with your real local prices and check the 50 percent NLM subsidy. Visit a running goat farm before investing.

I run about 90 does. The years I kept kid deaths low and grazed them cheaply, profit was good; the year I bought costly feed and lost kids to disease, I barely broke even. Vaccination and a good buck matter most.

Do not count on profit in year one. Setting up sheds, buying does and waiting for the first kid crop ate my early money. Real income came from the second year once the herd was producing. Keep enough working capital to cross that first year.

Selling at the right time lifted my returns more than anything. Holding kids to good weight and selling around festival demand fetched a clearly better rate than dumping them whenever. Plan your kidding so animals are ready when buyers pay the most.

Enterotoxaemia hit my kids one rainy season and the loss was painful. After that I follow the vet's vaccination and deworming routine strictly and the survival rate is far better now. Disease prevention is quietly where the profit is saved.
