Situation/weather: Even if more rains have been registered in Corrientes province since March, damage causes previously by the drought could not possibility reverse, especially for crop activities as water is required at given time. As of end of May, cumulative rainfall for the cycle was 1,120 mm or -20% compared with the historical average for the same period.

Cattle operation: Our cattle herd (5,412 heads currently) is in good conditions and the more sensitive categories to high temperature have started to recover. Young male calves are going to be send to San Bartolo farm where fattening process is easier and faster than in Curupi Pora given Salta’s climate. Young female calves are retained to increase and replace mothers’ herd. Self produced Bradford bulls will also improve internal genetic of the herd while old bull are going to be sold.

As we were able to access to the limit of the farm bordering with Santa Lucia river, we took advantage to put fences in place to segregate the floodplain in order to graze cattle on the unfloodable section as pasture are very dense there.
