Grass Production

Extensively reared livestock (Animal Welfare), with a combination of soil and climate that allows it to develop a uniform muscle, tenderness and texture unique in the world.

Pastures of the Argentine plains (splitting), which result in 100% natural meat, free of additives and hormones, low-cholesterol, saturated and intramuscular fat.


Silvopastoral/Forest Grazing Production

It allows to develop two different productive activities in one: Forestry and Forage.

Protects the soil and holds moisture, producing forage for longer.

Animals have shelter, improve calving and increase beef and/or milk production.

It stimulates the growth of trees.

Intensive production, supplemented with cereal grains and corn silage of high quality.

Enables rapid weight gain and the release of land for other activities.

Corn silage can accumulate a large amount of dry matter of good quality, optimizing load and weight gain in grazing and generating a high yield of meat per ha when it goes to food to the feed lot.
