Situation/weather: We are still suffering from heat waves and lack of rains (light rainfall evaporates immediately due to the heat). This is the 3rd consecutive year that Uruguay, south of Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina are experiencing La Niña weather phenomenon. Please see the Article from La Nacion dated 13/03/23 which addresses the impact and consequences of this situation. We were not affected by fire as it is the case in several farms in the region, and overall the farm has decent pasture in comparison with other neighbouring farms.
Cattle operation: We have currently above 6,800 heads at the farm, of which 2,060 spring calves. Around 50% of them are males which are going to be sold. 900 female are going to be kept for internal reposition and the other will be available for sale. By end of March, we will perform pregnancy test of spring service.
Here you can see some cows and baby calves almost 6 months old (around 180 kg/head). We are preparing 1st sales of this cycle with 240 male calves.
Here you some heifers of 18 months which will enter in service by end of this year. You can see that they are in very good condition.
To assure optimal water distribution and availability for the cattle, we are currently building a new water tank. You can see here the basement of the construction.
