Ready To Range Capons

Another great business idea is to do ready to range capons. It is an old art and not many people know how to do this.

One grower of ours have specialized on the Sunshine Capons, timing his harvests during the festival season of Christmas, town fiestas etc. Actually, the capons are served in special occassions and should know no particular season as it will always be demanded.

The gourmets know the distinct difference in meat quality of capons. Priced higher at PHP300/kilo dressed, it is sought after by the market that knows.

We have had inquiries about getting capon cockerels, or the ready to range ones.

Look into this business. It is a good niche for a select market.

Market For Capons

When we first featured Joey Rigor doing the Sunshine Capons, it got a lot of attention. That time, he was learning the curve for the business of the capons. Because he started sometime May, we were able to feature the old art of raising capons for several trade shows. By Christmas time, people have preordered Joey's capons :)

He has already in his brooders now capons for release in May.

Capons need not be just for Christmas. All year round, there will be a need for a festive dish :) There will always be parties, birthdays and anniversaries. Graduations and fiestas are also mid year.

I found this article, for people who don't know what capons are.

SASSO Demos How To Capon A Sunshine

We missed Joey Rigor of Victoria, Tarlac who does the Sunshine Capon. It was his birthday, April 6. His Sunshine Capon triggered Zac Sarian's interest in bringing back the art.

Doc Rey also tried his hand at it.

Demos by Louis Perrault of SASSO. Let's see if they get featured in an article :)


Sunshine Capons will be available at the Bonsai Show, May3-11 and at IFEX, May16-18.

Sunshine Capons

Did it take rigorous brainstormings to decide to claim a niche in the caponed chicken sector?

I'm not sure how and why. I can only guesstimate and conjure like the "Marimar" writer :)

A Tarlac raiser decided to capon the male Sunshines. His harvest for March 2008 had been reserved and next batch will be for May 2008 already.

Great move. They not only unlearned the present norms in raising industrial broilers....they went back to basics with free ranged chickens, and took the step backward to bring back to consumers the long missed capons.

Unlearning, back to basics, backward, back.... Seems like negative thoughts? Not when you really dwell on the reasons.

What are capons?

As of now, they will be calling them Sunshine Capon.
