Feeding them is base on the appetite of the animal and their capacity.

For backyard it is about 3 times a day, that's the usual.

When you feed them you need to monitor them. If they finished their food instantly them give another serving of food. You have to do it every feeding time.

The caretaker should watch them during feeding time because this is the time they can see who is sick, eats well, if the animal needs another serving of food etc..

Don't forget also to give plenty of water.

Soy bean is a good source of protein and also meat meal medyo expensive lang po. Always cook po.

Silage is given here for fattening cattle, usually big cattle ranch do this.

They use a big plastic to cover all the grasses so it will ferment. IN other country they use silo or a tank where they put all the materials.

From a far it looks like a black hills and inside it is the silage

For my opinion Cattle are bad tempered animal compared to a carabao.

Sometimes they will just kick you sideways. They have this capability to kick sideways/side kicking.

 2 bulls and 5 cows is a good investment you can sell them at 30-50 thousand depending on the weight.

Yup, this is one of the few projects of our government that is pro-poor.

The philippine is a pork loving country. Most of our produce are being consumed here. Just imagine the philippines has about 80 million people who eat pork.

We cannot export yet to other country because our pork is much expensive compared to other country.

But there are now companies that are trying to go global. Hopefully they will open the doors for the export of hogs.

The government is promoting our country as a source of halal food and one of them is goat meat which is very popular in muslim countries.

Yup beef is expensive.

The market is not yet that saturated. The one thing that most people don't like with this is that you need to take care of it for a year and also looking for feedlot is a bit hard now a days.

another very promising area is dairy cattle. About 90% or 99% (i can't remember the exact figure) of our milk in the market is imported. So that is the area that a local dairyman could fill.
