Livestock Update
Here they are – our (up to now) 195 beautiful young steers: Black and Red Aberdeen Angus, and a few cross breeds Angus x Hereford (white blazed).

This project helps our integrated farming system to regenerate the soil for a climate-positive outcome. Animal welfare is our top priority.
We have separated 70 hectares and sown a multi-species pasture, which provides diverse nutrients for the steers. The cattle are roaming the pasture and helping to incorporate plant residues into the soil.
The building of the multipartite fence construction started in August 2021 – a big undertaking. Every day, the cattle are moved to a different plot, to make sure there is no overgrazing taking place. The short time grazing triggers the growth effect of the plants and lets them grow even faster. It allows their roots to develop more deeply into the ground and loosen up the soil. These stronger and longer roots have better groundwater access.
Behind this concept stands a dedicated network of experienced agronomists and cattle managers. All our team members enjoy treating animals and nature in the best possible way.

Regenerative Agriculture – Rolling Hairy Vetch for Late Corn to Be Sown Soon
Cover crops (barley in this case) are being rolled over just before the seeds are fully grown.
Meanwhile, we are having 420 young steers on our farm as a Regenerative necessity for the soil and a diversification of income through meat production.
A few weeks ago, the agricultural team of the German Embassy / Buenos Aires visited us.
