Animal welfare
Cattle in Uruguay live in a true paradise. The fertile land, spacious green plains, an abundance of rivers and brooks and a moderate climate provide ideal circumstances that guarantees animal welfare.
The cattle live, under the watchful eye of proud gauchos, in herds on pastures. Calves are also part of the herd and therefore stay with their mother for a long time.
Stress is avoided as much as possible – also during transport. All possible precautions are taken to keep the animals in top condition. Regular veterinary check-ups are part of this.
