Process of Livestock
Traditionally, the process of livestock for meat
consumption has been divided into five basic activities:
1. Weaning: By 8 months the calf is separated from
the mother while having an approximate weight of
180 Kg
2. Stress: Once weaned, the calf enters a stage of
stress, in which its body undergoes hormonal
changes that end up producing positive changes
in the vital functions, while loosing approximately
15 Kg
3. Raising: When the stress stage is over, the
animals enter the raising process and are
separated by sex to prevent premature pregnancy,
until achieving maturity with an approximate
weight of 300 Kg.
4. Final Growth Stage: Once the animal has
matured, the final breeding process is when the
animal grows from 300 to 450 Kg.

The Business
The core business of the Fund is the purchase
of breeding cattle, which is bought with a weight
between 260 and 300 Kg and sold once
reached approximately 450 Kg, in order to
optimize their weight gain with an average of 12
Kg/month.
There is not only a profit for weight increase, but
also with the passing of time, the price of cattle
is increasing. The price is set by regional
auctions and market prices.
