Situation/weather: While drought has ravaged the wheat and barley crop on the Pampas growing belt, we have an optimal situation and weather. Thanks to a wet previous cycle and the current usual hot temperature for this period of the year, pastures have been boosted and are now highly abundant and dense in all section of the farm.
Even Santa Lucia River with his current optimal level allows a direct drinking access to the cattle and expands the grazing area bordering the limit of our farm with the river. The farm is in excellent shape thanks to the permanent hard work of the gauchos and their manager, Ricardo Borda.
Silage and pasture program: We have sowed around 150 ha of corn, which will be use later to feed the herd. Herbicide has just been applied and we are expecting yields around 4.5t/ha.
As part of our program, we are in process of sowing subtropical pastures (Bracchiria) which showed good resilience to heat waves and water shortfalls.
Cattle operation (4,700 heads): The cattle is in excellent shape as you can see for the various categories. We have started the insemination process of the heifers.
We are also anticipating some market conditions changed by selling some male calves (180 kg) as well as some fattening cows (460 kg). Across all categories, we are planning to sell around 1,500 heads.
