‘Toro Sa Barangay’ Goat Upgrading Program Starts In Luz Village, Mlang!

‘Toro Sa Barangay’ Goat Upgrading Program Starts In Luz Village, Mlang!
A former New People’s Army cadre who had since returned to his village as part of the NTF-ELCAC Program, will lead the Barangay Goat Upgrading Program in Luz Village, Mlang, North Cotabato.
Now a goat farmer, Lito Roxas, who actually joined a demonstration of leftist peasants in front of the Dept. of Agriculture when I was Secretary, told me during my visit to Luz Village last Wednesday (Jan. 14) that he needed a good buck (male goat) to be bred to eight does (female goats) that he was raising.
Yesterday, during a visit by 30 village leaders from Luz Village, I granted Lito Roxas’ wish by giving him a Lamancha-Anglo Nubian Hybrid buck which I bred in my farm.
It was agreed that the buck will be used in a Goat Upgrading Program in Luz Village where Lito Roxas will set up a housing for the Hybrid Buck to breed with the native goats owned by other farmers.
I will support this program by introducing Sorghum Farming in Luz Village where I will provide the seeds and the farm inputs then buy back the grains while the stalks will be chopped for silage.
This program could be replicated in other barangays of Mlang and later the whole province of North Cotabato.
