Experimentation and Innovation in Sabong Breeding
At N Farm in Barangay Mambiranan, Calinog, Iloilo, Engineer Robert Anon focuses on constantly refining his Sabong breeding practices. Each year, he experiments with three to four breeding settings, striving to maintain a competitive edge.
“In Sabong, even the best rooster bloodlines can become outdated. To stay ahead, we need to innovate and adapt to changing competition,” Robert explains.
The Early Days of N Farm: Passion Turned Profession
Robert’s love for roosters began in childhood, feeding his father’s native chickens. After returning to the sport in 2010, he dedicated himself to gamefowl breeding. Encouraged by his father’s health journey, Robert founded N Farm and transformed his passion into a thriving enterprise.
The farm started with Stewart trios, later enhanced with Gilmore Hatch and Sandy Hatch bloodlines. These crossbreeds quickly gained recognition in Sabong tournaments, making N Farm a trusted name among enthusiasts.

“Our bloodlines are tailored for both local and national Sabong competitions, ensuring they meet the highest standards,” Robert shares.
