Agriculture Business - Goat Farming in Madurai a good Business idea

I am seriously thinking about Goat Farming in Madurai. I am looking for an agriculture land of size 2 acres, around Madurai. So that I can start a Goat Farm.

It is great to do agriculture business, and that definitely fetches around Rs.10,000 per month. As you can understand, this cannot be your main business. It should be one of the businesses in your portfolio.

This gives you connection to the land and also some living beings.

Let me know your thoughts on this.

Space Requirement:

50+2 animals = 40 meters x 70 meters.

= 2800 sq.meters.

2800 sq.mts = 30138 sq.fts.

1 cent = 436 sq.fts.

30138 divided by 436 = 69 cents needed for shed.

So, 2 acres of agriculture land will be needed.

1.30 acres will be of grass for Goats and 0.70 will be for Shed.

First that land investment has to be made!

Here is the following assumption chart I found it somewhere in Internet.
