Business Philosophy and Spiritual Motivation
📌 The speaker emphasizes that his business, beyond worldly success, is intended to be beneficial for the afterlife, viewing it as a form of continuous charity.
🤲 He aims to benefit the community, hoping for prayers from those he helps, as he is not a formal religious scholar ($\text{Ustaz}$).
🏡 He runs non-fee-based Quran memorization centers ($\text{Rumah Takhfid}$), ensuring students are educated without financial burden.

Sustainable Operations and Self-Sufficiency
🌾 To support the non-fee-based centers, the farm maintains its own economy through integrated businesses, including fisheries, tofu production, and cassava plantations.
🐟 Students at the pesantren eat fish twice a week, sourced from the farm's own pond, minimizing reliance on donations.
💰 While accepting donations, the core operational costs are covered by the revenue generated from integrated enterprises like the farm and tofu factory.

Future Aspirations and Vision
🥩 In the livestock business, the long-term goal is to develop downstream integration, specifically establishing a restaurant specializing in their meat products, similar to their mentors.
🕌 The ultimate personal ambition is to establish a Quran House ($\text{Rumah Tahfid}$) and a Santri Dormitory equipped with a sheep farm in every village.
🐑 The integration of sheep farming in the dormitories is deliberate, referencing that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was a sheep shepherd, encouraging $\text{santri}$ to become "shepherd entrepreneurs."

Sejahtera Tani Farm Background and Early Entrepreneurship
🎓 The founder, Ram Rahian, is an IPB graduate from the Faculty of Animal Husbandry, establishing Sejahtera Tani Farm in 2010 initially with about 300 sheep focused on fattening for the approaching Eid al-Adha.
🐑 His affinity for sheep started in $\text{5th grade}$ when he kept his own $\text{aqiqah}$ sheep instead of having them slaughtered, leading to him nurturing a small flock.
📰 Even as a child, he exhibited a strong entrepreneurial spirit, selling newspapers door-to-door and eventually running his own agency, much to his parents' initial disapproval.

Operational Challenges and Risk Management
📉 A significant challenge involved a massive loss in 2013 right before Eid al-Adha, where 65 sheep became ill/died due to faulty injections by a new, unauthorized employee and contaminated feed (grass sprayed with chemicals).
🤝 Dealing with consumer trust was difficult after the mass illness; although he replaced the animals with equivalent weight, managing customer disappointment was taxing.
🌱 This loss spurred learning: they invested in purchasing their own land for grass to ensure feed quality and avoid contamination issues.

Diversification: Tofu and Hospitality
🏭 The decision to build a tofu factory stemmed from the need to secure a consistent supply of soybean pulp ($\text{hampas tahu}$), which was otherwise highly contested in the local market.
🏡 The hospitality venture (an inn) was initiated based on customer requests for accommodation when visiting the farm, capitalizing on his interest in traditional Javanese-style houses.
💸 The inn operates primarily on an infak (donation) basis; guests pay via a book system, with a percentage agreed upon upfront (e.g., 10%) going to the $\text{Rumah Takhfid}$ fund.

Breeding Strategy and Conservation
🐑 The farm focuses on Garut sheep (80%) for breeding but also maintains local sheep because the Greater Jakarta area ($\text{Jabodetabek}$) market prefers local breeds, especially for restaurant consumption.
📈 The breeder aims to counter the trend of potential sheep imports by focusing heavily on local breeding, noting that the $\text{Jabodetabek}$ area consumes 9,000 to 10,000 sheep monthly.
🤝 In the Garut breeding operations, they partner with palm oil farmers, allowing them to herd the sheep on the plantation land during their non-work hours, operating on a cash-split model rather than splitting the animals.

Animal Care and Sales Structure
🥇 For the show/contest category of Garut sheep, care is intensive, involving twice-weekly cleaning, specialized feed (like banana heart and bran), and training/running exercises.
🏗️ Housing for Garut sheep requires hardwood (Mahogany or Teak) due to their nature as fighters that often ram fences.
🏷️ For consumption-grade sheep, standard care includes shearing, vitamins, and deworming; routine check-ups are monthly.

Qurban and Aqiqah Services
📉 The cheapest $\text{Qurban}$ option starts around IDR 2.25 million for a sheep weighing 20 to 25 kg.
💵 The farm offers a Qurban Savings Program, requiring a 30% down payment (DP), with the balance due one month before Eid al-Adha.
🛡️ Guarantees ensure that if a saved animal dies, the customer receives an equivalent weight replacement or a full refund of the deposited funds, avoiding potential $\text{riba}$ issues.

Key Points & Insights
➡️ The business structure is deeply integrated ($\text{Farm} \rightarrow \text{Tofu} \rightarrow \text{Hospitality}$) to achieve self-sustainability for its charitable educational endeavors ($\text{Rumah Takhfid}$).
➡️ Aspiring young entrepreneurs are advised to prioritize enthusiasm and action ($\text{Gerak dulu aja}$) over getting stuck analyzing final outcomes, trusting in clear calculations.
➡️ The speaker advocates for $\text{dakwah}$ (spreading faith) through entrepreneurship, suggesting one can be a "sheep farmer preacher" or a "tofu factory owner preacher."
