The majority of the cattle that our farmers submit to slaughter is bred cow-calf-rearingfinishing cycles (opened or closed), which represents a big advantage, because it\nenables to have a greater control over the productive process (certifications for instance)\nand, at the same time, avoid circumstantial fluctuations in the margins of finishing. During their term in the establishment, animals are bred in open sky, without stabling, having unrestricted access to water and with a suitable diet. Cattle is monitored with regular rounds. Docility is a sought trait that is attained with a smooth appropriate handling.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Rearing starts, between 6 and 10 months of age, with calves between 130 and 180\nkilograms coming from our own cow-calf operations or from selected suppliers. All the\nanimals are from British breeds or their crossbreeds. 90% of the steers sold by Vaquer\u00eda del Este are young up to four teeth. To reach the required carcass\u2019 weights at those ages, rearing is conducted since weaning, with feeding levels that enable changing but always positive daily gains. Average daily gains for the whole rearing term vary between 340 and 540 grams, according to the growth curves defined for each type of animal. To attain this kind of growth and selling plans, all animal lots are regularly weighed according standard\nprocedures. The analysis of such records has allowed us to define growing type-curves for different steers.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Vaquer\u00eda del Este has consistently increased the number of heads sold through our\ncommercial agreements and believes on keep growing. Nowadays we market, approximately, 30.000 heads per year. The most important category are steers, 60% of\ntotal, followed by cows and heifers. Steers are sent to slaughter at early ages, a trait that we have been improving without diminishing carcass weights, as a result of productive\nefficiency. That determines excellent levels of tenderness, meat color, fat and suitable\nlevels of pH and and meat yield.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Even though the majority of sold to slaughter cattle are from a free-range origin, which\ngives them nutritional traits that are specially valued by consumer (less intramuscular fat,\nlarger proportion of unsaturated fat and omega 3 fat acids), in recent years some\nproducers have developed grain fattening systems destined to high quality quota (HQB\n481), managing, in that way, to incorporate the agricultural resources at hand and\nefficient integrated systems for those markets.<\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
