Willy Martins' animal farm

📌 One of the most well-known livestock breeders in Crimea, specializing in goat farming, is German citizen Willy Martins. He spent his childhood in Kazakhstan. After graduating from the Almaty Veterinary and Zootechnical Institute, Martins worked in leadership positions in Kazakhstan’s agriculture sector. In 1993, Willy moved to Germany, where he took a job at an agricultural machinery company. In 1997, the company’s management appointed him as the head of its representative office in Moscow. However, after ten years in that role, Martin grew tired, and in 2005, he moved to Crimea, to the Razdolnensky district, where his ancestors had lived.

We are in a climate similar to that of Spain, Turkey, and the south of France, where goat breeding is very popular, says farmer and goat breeder Willy Martins. He confidently adds, Goat farming is the future of livestock in Crimea.🤩

Martins' dairy herd consists of around 400 goats, each producing about 800 liters of milk annually. Overall, his farm has about a thousand animals, including sheep for lamb and wool production. 🐐 The Martins supply milk to large cheese factories as well as small cheese workshops. They also make cheese from goat’s milk for their own consumption and for friends.

Martins’ farm is not only involved in cattle raising. On its two and a half thousand hectares, the farm currently grows winter wheat and barley, spring barley, and also cultivates mustard, safflower and sainfoins.🤩
