Welcome to our website.

 


Thank you for joining us in this new adventure that has as objectives the exchange of information and suggestions among dairy farmers from all over the world, and of course, the promotion and launching of our livestock products.

 

Furthermore, there is the passion for dairy production and of our dear Holstein breed that lead us into a restless fight to keep us updated and embedded in this activity.
This passion, that goes back to 1963, has placed our dairy farm and cattle in a site of international recognition.
These achievements are supported by a constant genetical progress sourcing from the world leading countries in milk production.

   
 

In 1970 Artificial Insemination was implemented using imported semen, that continues up to the present with no interruption, either in our Holstein Selection (H.S.) cattle as well as on our Pedigree (P) cattle. The Embryo Transfer Technique (E.T.) has been used since 1982.

Besides, we won important prizes in cattle shows and milk production competitions in our country, taking part in Expo-Prado in Montevideo, Florida, San José, and Tarariras (Colonia).
We have imported embryos from U.S.A. that were born in our stud and until now remain as mothers, leaving an excellent descendency.
To be able to be always up to the best countries in the world, we have imported cows from Canada and U.S.A., that have been prizewinners in important

 
 

cattle shows and competitions in these mentioned countries and in our own.
This constant genetic advance, extremely long and expensive, has uniformed our herd and allows us today to present you animals of an excellent level, perfectly adapted to the uruguayan production system.

We are always open to enquiries and suggestions from farmers that wish to communicate with us.

Thank you.
