NATURAL, GRASS-FED BEEF
Uruguay has excellent conditions for livestock production. Here we produce 100% grass-fed Aberdeen Angus beef. Our cattle spend all their life outside, where they graze on well-managed pastures and natural grasslands. Free from hormones and antibiotics, the good life quality of our animals results in natural, healthy and high quality beef.
ORIGINAL GENETICS In Uruguay, we breed our own, unique Aberdeen Angus cattle. They are the result of many years of work improving our genetics, tracing back the roots of the original Aberdeen Angus bloodlines. The original Aberdeen Angus were a robust but smaller framed animal, well adapted to grazing on natural grasslands. Compared to the modern, larger Aberdeen Angus, our animals calve easier, can be raised and fattened entirely on grass, and need less care. We have received good responses from the markets to our genetics. By returning to the origin of the breed, we can maintain our commitment to animal welfare while producing a sustainable, high quality
grass-fed beef with good nutritional properties, marbling and distinctive flavour.
CERTIFIED NATURAL MEAT In 2015, we entered the Natural Meat Certification Programme, which is bestowed by the INAC (Uruguay National Institute of Meat) and recognised by the USDA. This programme certifies that: >> Cattle are raised and kept open range for their entire lifetime >> Cattle has full and verifiable traceability >> Cattle do not receive any animal protein in their feed >> Cattle do not receive any hormones
