Exciting! We Started To Break Ground On The M.I.G.H.T Project!
In a previous video we showed how bad it can get with poultry and mud here at Cascadia Heritage Farm. We want to show you what we have been doing to try to resolve that issue. In this video we are very excited to be breaking ground on the our M.I.G.H.T, Malay Invigoration Gene Hybridization Team, Project.
We are working with Alastair for Black Horse Contracting and he and his team are doing a fantastic job! We are working on a layout for our breeding facility that will allow us to breed thoughtfully and also manage the bird’s health and their environment well. We are employing the “heavy use area” concept that we learned about from our local Conservation District.
This breeding facility is surprisingly complicated!!!! Our challenges are that we are farming in a small area, we want our birds to be healthy, we want the land to be healthy, and we want to manage their breeding carefully. This means tons of cross fencing, tons of sand and tons of work! The funny thing is, we also running another breeding project where we don’t control the process. The final goal is to take birds from each program to create a healthy, huge, wild, exciting, beautiful Mighty Malay!
We want to encourage hope and appreciation in ourselves and others with this project, wish us luck!
We will keep you posted and show you what happens next.
We at Cascadia Heritage Farm believe we can make a difference and you can too.
