How a student’s request turned into a thriving goat dairy farm
A veterinary student in Krasnodar Krai has turned a small homestead into a successful agribusiness with the help of local officials. Sergei Yermilin’s farm now includes rare Kamori goats, whose milk is used for popular dairy products. His story began with a simple request to Governor Veniamin Kondratyev during a public Q&A session. Sergei Yermilin, then a veterinary student, approached Governor Kondratyev with a request for three Kamori goats. The animals were needed to boost his dairy operation, which already included chickens, Muscovy ducks, sheep, and rabbits. Instead of three, the governor instructed his deputy for agriculture to arrange four—one of them, a female named Bugatti, is now expected to give birth this winter. Yermilin’s farm now supplies dairy products made from Kamori goat milk, attracting buyers from different regions. The governor’s support played a key role in expanding the herd and increasing production. With more offspring expected, the farm’s future looks set to grow even further.
