Breeders start buying sheep

Gov. Alfredo Marañon Jr. yesterday said private sheep breeders and a local breeding center in Negros Occidental had purchased sheep from the province through the Provincial Veterinary Office.

A total of 108 sheep were sold to two private breeders and to the Moises Padilla Breeding Center recently, costing to P1,782,000, Dr. Placeda Lamana, officer-in-charge of PVO said.

The MPCB bought 40 ewes and two rams, while two private breeders bought 62 ewes and four rams, Lemana said.

Each ewe costs P16,000 and for the ram, it is P25,000, she said.

Lemana also said PVO does not sell sheep to any buyer.

All buyers must comply with the requirements that include proper housing for the sheep, good pasture area, completed sheep management training with PVO, and payment in cash to the Provincial Treasurer’s Office, she said. *LTG
