Our farm
Bakahan began with our own cattle fattening farm. We are building it now, and we will share the whole journey here, honestly.
Why we started
We believe cattle raising can be a good, steady business for Filipino families, if it is done with care and good records. We started our own farm to learn it properly, and to show others what it really takes.
What we are building
Pens and shade
A covered feedlot with clean floors, good drainage, and plenty of shade and fresh water.
Our own forage
Napier and other grasses planted beside the pens, so we can cut and carry fresh feed every day.
Brahman-cross feeders
Young, healthy animals bought from trusted sources, quarantined, dewormed, and weighed on arrival.
Records for everything
Weights, feed, costs and sales, all recorded. This is how we will know if we are really making money.
Where we are
Planning and learning
Visiting farms and markets, and studying fattening and feeds.
Building the farm
Pens, water, forage area. Happening now.
First batch of cattle
