Situation/weather: The farm is still partially under water after the torrential rains registered earlier in February. The water is very slow to evacuate as the problem is emphasised by the illegal internal protection walls build by some farmers upper the river which affected and changed water course (a legal action is ongoing and cleaning plans have already been approved by local authorities). Rains have still been registered there since.
Some facilities and houses are still under water as well as some full access to sections of the farm. For now, we must wait the water has evacuated.
Cattle operation (2,660 heads): The gauchos have regrouped the cattle of flooded sections to transfer them to dry areas in order to prevent sanitary issues (hoof disease, tick, etc) and cattle losses (shrinking, weight loss, injury, etc). Mothers and young calves are the most sensitive categories and need food supplementations given their morphology.
To avoid supplementation cost and to reduce temporally the density per hectare of animals, we are selling 120 Male calves.
