raising peliquey in el salvador




peliquey's are a sheep raised in hotter climates for it's rich meat. they eat anything and are easy to raise, they have babies every 6 months and mature in 6 months.

world vision supplied 3 farmers with a male and 2 female peliquey's and when each has raised 11 animals they will start marketing them. they eat anything and what appears to be hay is the leaves left over after harvesting beans. they will be able to feed their families and supply their communities with fresh meat. wv gave the farmers the option of raising ducks, chickens or peligueys and 3 chose the sheep. they provide everything, the pens, the training in raising the animals and business and marketing.

It's so good to see your pictures and hear what World Vision is doing. I'm happy that God was faithful to you and kept you safe while you were there too. Happy Valentines day my friend.
