Backyard cattle fattening or on a large scale can be profitably undertaken. It consists of buying healthy stock, feeding and fattening them for 120 to 180 days, and selling them at anytime of the year. Minimum space for housing is required: 1.5 to 2 sq. meters per head for a sheltered feeding area, and 5 meters per head for a fenced loafing area.
Given the proper care, there is less danger of diseases and parasites affecting confined animals and the fattening period is shorter. Marbling or inter-mixture of fat and lean in meat is better obtained through feedlot fattening. This is preferred by customers. Continue reading

Hi to all,
I’m also planning to venture in cattle raising.A lot of tips has been written with regards to this except for the following:
1. Who are the prospect buyers?
2. How do you determine the selling price? Do you measure its weight “kinikilo or tantyahan” basis?
3. Is there any document necessary to prove ownership? Kailangan pa ba or pwedeng wala na?
For a starter cattle raiser, what breed do you recommend?
Please advise.
Thanks,
Ral,Pangasinan
Hi R Estrada,
For us in Nueva Ecija area, prospective buyers would usually come from Urdaneta Pangasinan. They visit Nueva Ecija area once in a while. I believe there is an “oksyon” site in Urdaneta for Livestocks. Sometimes also if we really need to sell a cattle, we brought it to Urdaneta. Normally the selling price is based on “tantyahan” basis. You should have a handler that is “expert” at marunong talagang tumingin ng baka. Yes normally there is a document that comes along with the cattle when you buy it from someone.
Hope this information helps.

hi,to all!tanong ko lang sana kung pwede bang o mag cattle farming sa bulacan particular sa san miguel bulacan dalawa kasi ang pinagpipilian ko davao saan ba ang maganda balak ko kasi grass fed lang ang paraan kasi basi sa pag aaral ko mas masarap ang meat ng grass fed at malayo sa sakit ang mga cattle
@wilson, kahit saang lugar pwede basta maganda yung pasture land.
@wilson you can always do backyard cattle raising specially if you don’t have allocated space. You can assign somebody to be responsible for the cattle or distribute it among individuals in your area and have an agreement on how to split the profit.
ano po ang raising cattle
I am here abroad and planning to have a cattle business. I would like to know how much is the cost of a calf in the Philippines at Luzon area? Can they put my name in the bill of sale even i’m not there? I’m planning to buy three for now, do you prefer all females or 2 female and one male? I have somebody to take care of this calf, what is the best way to share profits? His condition is that he wants me to have the first baby and won’t split with the sale if I decided to sell it but he said the next time this calf have a baby, it will be his. It’s like alternate owning of babies. I don’t know which works best. I need your advice before I start this business.
Thank you.
I also want to ask questions regarding cattle raising, but I notice that there has been no reply so far to the queries raised. Just like one of those websites that invite queries but cant reply when the queries arrived. Can be disappointing.
@Ped dela Cruz, are you sure you read “Related Posts” and all of the comments?
this is a free service, nobody is obliged to answer all your queries. if you can’t find the answers here, try to research yourself.. then share it here.
Jane, normally that’s how it works on the profit sharing (Luzon area). It’s on alternate basis. Yeah it’s advisable if you have a bull of your own specially if the breed is of good quality.
I am going cattle using the cut and carry method. It is a slow process but not expensive.
@claude . . .yeah you’re right it’s a slow process and labor intensive approach . . .
hi.. is cattle raising would be a good business even we just have about thousand sq.meter? will that be fine?and is it profitable?
Kulang pa ata ang definition nyo…. para sa aming project. pero baka makakatulong ho ito….
