From Sabong Enthusiasm to Breeding Success
Cheche Navalta, the owner of Camp R Farm in Vill Verde, Nueva Vizcaya, recounts how her passion for Sabong and rooster competitions shaped the farm’s journey. Founded in 2020, the farm began as a resource for Vill Verde Cockpit Arena, supplying roosters for competitive betting events. Initially purchasing gamefowl, the team later decided to breed their own, ensuring superior quality for Sabong matches.
Cheche notes, “Winning with our own roosters in derbies brings unmatched joy.” With a production capacity of 200 heads, the farm nurtures elite bloodlines such as White Gold and Boston Roundhead, known for their agility and power in the Sabong ring.
Adapting and Innovating: Farm Tourism During the Pandemic
During the pandemic, Camp R Farm expanded beyond gamefowl breeding to include farm tourism. The transformation added camping areas, event spaces for weddings, and dining facilities. Visitors now experience a blend of Sabong culture and recreational activities, making the farm a unique destination for both enthusiasts and families.
“We wanted Camp R Farm to be more than just a gamefowl breeding ground. It’s now a place for connection, celebration, and experiencing the vibrant world of roosters and Sabong betting,” Cheche explains.
Managing Challenges: Health and Weather in Rooster Farming
Nueva Vizcaya’s fluctuating weather conditions pose significant challenges for raising healthy gamefowl. The drastic shifts between hot days and cold nights can stress the roosters, leading to potential health issues. Camp R Farm addresses this by using Amoxil Forte and supplements like P-Stat from LDI to ensure their gamefowl remain derby-ready.
Our roosters need to be in top condition for competitive Sabong. LDI products have been invaluable in achieving this,” Cheche states. With such practices, the farm ensures the well-being of their roosters, enabling consistent performance in high-stakes matches.
Teamwork and Dedication: The Foundation of Camp R Farm
The success of Camp R Farm is built on teamwork and dedication. Cheche praises her family and staff, who have worked tirelessly to support the farm’s growth. This collaboration has turned the farm into a beacon for Sabong enthusiasts and tourists alike.
“Our team is the backbone of everything we’ve accomplished. Together, we’ve created a space that celebrates the art of rooster breeding and the excitement of Sabong betting,” she shares.
