Nicolas Adillol received a loan of 100,000 Philippine pesos. He used the money primarily to improve the stable where he keeps his cows as well as buying more livestock. The better facilities mean that he can house more cattle. He has had no difficulties in making repayments, even though he bought the cattle to sell for meat and this involves waiting for some months until the cattle are ready. This is because he receives regular income from other animals that he raises, including pigs and chickens. In general, he aims to sell the cattle after 6-7 months of having bought and fattened them up. On average he receives around 150 Philippine pesos per kilogram. He states for example, that for an animal that he has bought for 70 kilograms and sold weighing 150 kilograms after seven months, he can make a profit of 12,000 pesos. He is currently keeping five cattle. He has to ensure that he always has enough feed for the animals and so he makes sure that he plants enough grass. Often though he has to buy grass from neighbours when he has insufficient himself from his own land for the animals, the cost is 20 pesos for a large bundle of grass which is enough to feed six cattle for one day. He continues to employ two full time farm labourers and continues his duties as a local councillor.
