        "content": "<p>JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - While other Gen Z individuals rush to secure\njobs at prestigious offices, 21-year-old Hanan has chosen a different\npath. Instead, he has taken up goat farming while pursuing his fourth\nsemester in History at the State Islamic University (UIN) Jakarta. The\nstory began in 2020 when the Covid-19 pandemic hit Indonesia,\ndrastically reducing Hanan\u2019s family income. Amidst their financial\nstruggles, his parents utilised their land to grow vegetables and other\nproduce. \u201cMy parents grew chillies, eggplants, and other vegetables.\nThen my father tried raising chickens,\u201d Hanan said during an interview\nat the site on Friday, 22 May 2026. At the time, his father had acquired\n300 chickens from East Java to rear in the residential area. However,\nafter six months, the chicken farming venture was deemed unsuitable to\ncontinue. Eventually, ahead of Iduladha, Hanan\u2019s father received an\noffer to become a goat reseller from a friend. \u201cIn 2020, my father sold\naround 30 goats as a reseller, and they sold out immediately,\u201d Hanan\nadded. Despite having no prior experience in goat rearing, his father\nrelied on determination and reputation to sell dozens to friends. Seeing\nthe potential in goat trading, Hanan\u2019s father decided to resume\nreselling ahead of the 2021 Iduladha festival. However, he remained a\nreseller rather than a breeder, despite having a goat shed. In 2024,\nafter Hanan graduated and three months before the next Iduladha, he\nbegan to focus on livestock farming. His decision to pursue farming came\nafter a lengthy and considered process. He chose to expand his father\u2019s\nbusiness after failing to secure a place at his dream university in\nYogyakarta.<\/p>",
