We decided to renovate the aging corral already in place when we purchased the farm in 2008, and which has become obsolete. The renovation is almost completed and we reused as much as possible resources available at the farm to perform this upgrade.
This extensive refurbishment will improve services provided to our cattle (heard selection and classification by category, veterinary service and transfer of livestock).
Purchased in February 2007, this 6.261-hectares farm has being transformed from 100% cattle production to a mix of 43% crops and 57% cattle. We had also a extensive dairy factility.
