A buck station is where a male goat of superior qualities is kept by individual farmer to serve other smallholder goat farmers in the community who may not afford to acquire one of their own.
A buck station is established for the purpose of introducing more productive goat breeds in a community through crossbreeding with local goats to produce breeds with superior traits for meat and milk production.
Through the Revolving Goat Fund project, RYIDNET with funding from Luena Foundation has established buck stations as part of long-term community-based goat breed improvement program targeting poor families of orphans and vulnerable children.
