Squabs:

 

King of foods & food of Kings

• A squab is a 25-30 days old pigeon (nestling) before it learns to fly.
• At this age, it weighs about 20-24 ounces alive.
• Squab of this size would dressed out to be about 14-16 ounces.
• At this age, the squab has reached its maximum degree
of growth, plumpness and delicacy.
• Squab meat is dark and rich. It's flavor is full bodied with an accent of wild.
• It is very tender and retains its moisture when cooked.
• Squab dish ranks very high on gourmet foods and found only on the
menus of classy restaurants. Since the ancient times it has been
a dinner entree for the people from all walks of life.

Squab Farming:

Squab farming can be a viable full- / part-time business.

Squab farming is especially suitable for those living on fixed or limited income or who can't keep livestock of any other kind.

Squab farming is one of the most sustainable micro livestock enterprise that   lends itself to urban and suburban settings.

On buying breeding stocks:

We believe that you need to buy breeding stock that will produce squabs at less cost per pound. In today's economy this is most important.

FOR SQUAB PRODUCERS: Our squabbing pigeons can raise your profits by reducing the cost of growing squab.

FOR SQUAB PROCESSORS: We are far out in front of the other breeders when it comes to delivering a pound of squab meat at lesser processing cost.

Our breeders are result of a highly intensified program of genetic research. You can expect more meat to feed ratio, broad breast, good hatchability and superb livability. When squabs get on the line, processors and marketers will like the uniform body confirmation.

WE believe we can deliver that BOTTOM LINE PROFIT FIGURE for your squab operation. Less cost means more profit: A WIN:WIN situation for all participants.
