Profitable Farming

[jackdi]

---

Pwede ba mo apil sa discussion ang livestock diri? Nag free range chickens ko. A mix of basilan, parawakan, and pbr. I grow the chickens for meat. But I sell them live. At first hobby farm lang with only 30 Breeders. But now naa nako steady demand, I'm expanding to 100 Breeders on Nov. I collect the eggs, incubate, brooder, then range. At the moment 20 to 30 chicks per week pa lang ma produce. = profitable and you get yourself a supply of native chicken meat and eggs for personal consumption.

I also have 8 sows (anay, pigs) but I dispose the piglets. Ang sobra lang ako gi fattening. = profitable but need close monitoring on expenses and pig health. Injectables are expensive. Piggery is best if you have your own meatshop.

Current trial expansions nako. 2 cows (1 buntis na), goats (dia na ang female, ga reserve nako ug anglo nubian male goat), carabao (I have 1 lang and still looking for a good source for new stock).

Total area size 10 hectares lang. Will expand to the neighboring farm areas when the need comes.
Water source namo is deep well and river.
Electricity source namo kay solar and grid.

Sa plants side. I have corn, atsal, kamatis, lettuce, eggplants all watered with drip irrigation. We also have coconuts, banana, durian, rambutan.

Naa ko silingan na farm doing well with his dragon fruits.

Btw, IT ako background for 20 years. Maayo na lang naay 4G ang globe diri.

Ang entire area planted na man mga extra2x i.e. Coconuts, rambutan, banana, durian. Naa sad ko area nga mahogany. Pero ang piggery ug poultry dia ra sa pikas side about 2 hectares ra gi occupy. Ga hinay2x ra expand to other projects kay lisod na ug dili ma apas. Karon lang gyud ko na homan ug tugway sa mga baka ug kabao. Medyo ni linaw na ang panahon. Ganiha kusog ang ulan ug hangin.

Mag advice lang ko sa ganahan mo try ug farming to start small. Dili lalim ang adjustment labi na ug gikan ka sa city or gikan ka ug office based job unya mo shift lang ka dayon to farming. Although naay nangapaso sa partnerships in farming, as long as legal and documented ang partnership, wala man problem. Ako na tanaw nga pwede ka sugdan sa taga city is mamalit ug cow for fattening unya ipa dala ug partner farmer. Just think of it as savings. Visit the cows and farm every weekend. These visits will give you valuable insights into farming. Makita nimo ang kapoy ug hago nga side. And ma timbang ra nimo. When the cow reach the right age/weight, baligya then sharing mo sa net ato nga cow.

20 years ko sa it job in Cebu. Ka daghan sa ako bonus nga na sayang lang sa gadgets, laag ug lingaw2x. I wish gi invest to nako tanan to something like I mentioned above.

Maski diha lang sa Babag area ka mangita ug ka partner. Ipa buhi nimo imo cow. Anyway iyang trabaho tig tugway raman. Gahi ang cow, dili dali ma sakit. Sa diha pako, sige ko hike sa Babag area, I wish nag palit ko goats or cows unya ako ipa alaga sa akong ma labyan na mga taga didto sa taas.

So far wala pako ni dawat ug partnership. Siguro sa lain nga project. Ang goats kay experiment ra sad ni. Ako ra sad mangunay ug tugway. Pero inig homan sa structure sa manokan, sundan nako ug housing para sa goats.

Sayang nindot na diay unta to imong setup. Sayang wala na bantayan ug tarong.

Naka remember diay ko, naa mi reserved 11 ka sheep sa bureau of animal industry. Ambot asa tuod na ibutang. Ako Papa raman nakig sabot ana. Karon pa sad ko naka hinumdom mga na mention nimo ning partnership sa goats. Naa sad similar agreement ang BAI with us regarding sa sheep.

Kaning cows, pang bunos2x lang ni incase naa ko ganahan paliton na butang. Hehe

Ang carabao diri, probably the last one I'll keep. Gamit ni sauna nga wala pa tractor diri. Not sure if mag restock ko.

Stop na ko sa livestock and will never do it again if it is commercial-driven coz all I want is to let my family quietly enjoy my produce. As of now my animals are taken cared by myself and free-range including their monthly worming. Im planning of making a small fresh-water fish pond around 150 sq.m and a cute 200 sq.m for a variety vegetables for consumption only. Now focus sa ko in growing sweet pepper plants and appollo tomatoes, btw, learning curve pa sad ko and these two plants are going to be my income generator in the future hehe

Wala sir. Pero ask lang if naa ka pangutana. Mo share ko sa ako na hibawan. Deep bedding system amo gamit sa fattening. At the moment 4 ka sow naa nako. Na cull mi ug 4. Max sow level sa ako structure karon is 8. My fattening pens can handle only up to 30 to 49 pigs.

3/4 sa property mostly ingon ani pa. Kalasangan. I do afternoon hikes with these buddies.

But lately I've been hiking with these two. Mas ma kaya nila ang longer distances without me worrying much sa ilang drinking water. Experimental pani ang duha. I'm adding 4 more fem goats before year end.
