Cattle development and ranch management

Every animal has its number. Every number, a return.

We produce our own cattle and manage third-party establishments with strict animal-health management, rotational grazing and end-to-end traceability. A ranch that can be audited animal by animal is a ranch that can be financed.

01The market

The sector is growing, but the herd is shrinking

Paraguay exports more beef, at a better price, than ever before. At the same time, there are fewer animals and fewer producers. The gap is closed with efficiency and good management, not with more land.

02What we do

Six fronts, one record

Every animal enters the system with its ear tag and leaves with its full history: origin, health, average daily gain and destination. That traceability is what makes production, management and investment auditable — and what lets us advise and audit third-party ranches with data, not impressions.

Front A

Ranch management

Full-service management of third-party establishments: planning and budgeting, herd management, pastures, infrastructure, staff and management control. With a monthly report and documented financial reporting.

Front B

Breeding and rearing

Brood cows with genetics adapted to the Chaco and the Región Oriental (Eastern Region). Controlled mating season, pregnancy checks and assisted weaning to sustain the calving rate.

Front C

Fattening and finishing

Rotational grazing with stocking rate adjusted by paddock and strategic supplementation in the dry season. Tracking of average daily gain by lot up to slaughter weight.

Front D

Investment projects

Cattle cycles opened to third parties under contract, with collateral over the livestock and periodic reports. Structure reviewed with Paraguayan legal and tax advisory.

Front E

Technical advisory

For the owner who runs their own ranch and needs an outside view without handing over management: a full diagnosis of the operation, stocking rate and pastures, animal-health plan and record-keeping, with findings ranked by their impact on the bottom line.

Front F

External audits

Independent verification for whoever needs certainty but does not run the ranch: a bank, a buyer or an investor. Reconciled headcount, inventory certification for a chattel-mortgage guarantee or credit line, and due diligence before a purchase — counted and signed by a third party.

Establishment management

Own a ranch but lack the structure?

We take charge of the entire establishment: the production plan, the herd, the pastures, the works, the staff and the numbers. You remain the owner, receive a report every month and visit the ranch whenever you like.

We are not an expensive foreman. The difference lies in accountability: an opening condition report when we take over, a monthly management report with supporting documents, a quarterly production report with indicators benchmarked against the plan, and an annual close with the result per hectare.

Grass is the cheapest input you have, and the easiest to ruin.

Traceability

Every animal has a number. And behind the number, its whole life.

Type in an ear tag and watch the animal's full life unfold: where it was born, when it was vaccinated, how it gained weight through to slaughter. That's how detailed the record we keep is — for every head on the ranches we manage.

04How it's done

The cycle, step by step

There are no shortcuts in cattle ranching: there are cycles. This is the real order in which a lot is worked, from the moment it enters the ranch until it is settled.

1Intake

Purchase and ear-tagging

Selection of the lot by category and health status, individual identification and registration entry. From here on, every animal has its own number.

Day 0

2Health

Health plan and adaptation

Vaccination according to the official calendar, deworming and intake quarantine. Entry weighing as a baseline to measure against later.

Weeks 1–3

3Pasture

Rotational grazing and supplementation

Rotation in strips with a measured rest period for the pasture, stocking-rate adjustment by paddock and mineral or protein supplementation when forage drops.

Production cycle

4Control

Weighings and reporting

Periodic weighings by lot, calculation of average daily gain and a report to the owner or investor on the state of the herd and the projected exit.

Every 60–90 days

5Exit

Sale and settlement

Sale to a meat-packing plant or backgrounder depending on market timing, documented settlement of the lot and return of capital with the agreed result.

End of cycle

05The ranch

This is how it's done

Corrals, herd, pasture and bush. The real work behind every report we deliver.

Put your capital where it can be counted

Cattle is an asset that walks, eats and gets weighed. That is why the backing of our contracts is not a promise: it is a pledge over animals identified one by one, on a specific ranch and within a cycle with a set term.

  • Collateral over the livestock, with a registered pledge.
  • Reporting every 60 to 90 days, mortality included.
  • Paraguayan legal framework: Ley 117/1991 and the 10% IRE (Paraguay's corporate income tax).
  • No promised percentage: we show you the model and its scenarios.
