Canadian Supplier
The Canadian company we would be dealing with is OC Flock Management.Founded and operated by Lynn Tait and Ileana Wenger in Bowden Alberta.Currently have six different breeds of bucks available for semen.
Semen comes frozen in 0.25cc straws.Offer training programs for semen processing, artificial insemination and embryo transfer.

Benefits to Canada
Increase demand for goat genetics and semen in Canada.Bring profits to Canadian companies such as OC flock management, as well as Canadian goat farmers.If demand in Nepal becomes large enough it could provide more jobs for Canadian’s in the goat industry.

Benefits to Nepal
Goats are a growing business of 4% per year.Can combine high quality Canadian genetics with environmentally adapted Nepalese breeds.Nepalese farmers wouldn’t need to keep bucks for breeding and could sell them for meat instead.
Increase genetic quality of goat herds.Increase family incomes

Target Consumer
Primarily farmers in the hills region where goat population is 300,071.Also goat farmers in other regions.Livestock production provides 20% of the household income in the hills region.Take advantage of a large industry in Nepal and increase genetics so smaller producers can generate higher income from fewer goats.

Shipping/Marketing
Have sales representatives go into hills and inform farmers of product and its potential.Get an estimate on how much semen should be sent over.Ship semen by air from Calgary to Kathmandu.
store semen in a liquid nitrogen container when shipping, size will be determined by demand.
