The Osun state government has concluded arrangements to provide about 648 healthy rams for the upcoming Eid-El-Kabir festival.
The
programme, tagged 'O'RAM' and done through the Selema Oloba Ranch, Iwo,
raises highly fattened rams breed and vaccinated within two months.
According to the Managing Director of Selema Oloba Ranch, Sola Omidiran, the 648 rams breed in the ranch were acquired from various parts of Nigeria's northern region.
He
explained that during the fattening period, animals add 15kg more
weight to their system, enhancing their capacity and body shape to
provide more beef to consumers.
Omidiran
noted that in line with the government's quest to generate revenue for
the state, the company has attracted partnerships with a wide range of
leading online stores to ensure adequate marketing for its animals.
He said, "In
a bid to enhance our marketing strategies, we have gone to partner with
varying online stores with our website, or online sites like Jumia,
Ebeano Supermaket, Red and Green Butchery and Lekki Farms.
"With
all what we are doing, we can assure you that we will give you value
for money. There will be nowhere else you will find rams that are of
good quality like these other than the Selema Farms.
"We
have animals in four different categories that are going for different
prices that are for sale. We have the Bronze category of about 25-30kg
for about N45,000; the Silva Category of 31-36kg for N60,000; Gold
category of 37-43kg for N70,000 and the Platinum of 44-50kg for
N80,000."
Aside the rams, Omidina
added that there are also goats, cattles as well as tomatoes, onions,
pepper and the rest as part of the Fresh products under the Selema Farms
Fresh category.
It will be recalled that
the O'Rams and Livestock project is part of the various sectors of the
Osun Rural Enterprise and Agricultural Programme O'REAP, a cardinal
point of Governor Rauf Aregbesola's six-point integral action plan.
