When I see a friend I will talk to him and ask him for help with the contact. I'll get back to you here if anything concrete comes up.

Honestly if I ever go into a business it may be an animal farm for halal meat. People need to eat and Muslims pray a premium for halal meat.

The idea is good, but is it realistically achievable?

Many experienced farmers in the West who possess vast tracts of land, infrastructure, machinery, and government subsidies are barely managing to survive. Many have gone under and are selling their holdings to larger agricultural operators or corporations that already have secured markets.

I don’t mean to discourage you rather, I would advise you to thoroughly research everything first. A good initial step would be to hire a reliable agronomist and an economist for consultation professionals who can give you an honest expert assessment of the actual situation.

Since I see on your profile that you are originally from Pakistan, so if you were actually thinking of trying to do business in Pakistan then I believe you would have better chances than in the West. Then check and ask whether it is more worthwhile for you to be a reseller in the first phase. You buy cattle cheaply in the villages and sell them more expensively in the cities. If your business is successful and you have your regular customers and market only then can you go for the option of your own farm.

yes good points but I had meant an animal farm in America that produces halal meat to be sold in American/Western markets. Halal meat is rather expensive. Australia/NZ/Canada export a lot of halal meat to America.

It's also not something I am starting tomorrow, and need a whole lot of research before I actually commit to it.

You should definitely do a thorough research about this business. You should know one thing, working with livestock is demanding and forget about annual vacations. If you work alone and take care of a farm with livestock, you have to be there every day and night, every week and month.
