To attain excellence in our work we guide our selection toward a type of fleshy bull, with little offal, proper structure and early development. They derive from blood-lines that ensure calving ease and fleshing ability, quick growth and adequate size at finishing point, fertility and positive maternal milk performance.
We select production according to its performance in the farm, which in breeding farms of the River Salado Basin is particularly challenging. At the same time, we take up the challenge of competition in top shows.
We believe in:
• The use of the best available technology for reproduction, health conditions, nutrition, beef-producing traits, statistics, measuring and performance testing translated to EPDs.
• Eye testing as a compulsory filter and a complement of our genetic evaluation.
• The achievement of a harmonious balance among the different characteristics is crucial for consistency in our production results.
• Detailed information about our females and their families guarantees an objective evaluation of their production, and a strict judgment to determine their stayability in the herd.
• The intensive use of embryo transfer and artificial insemination.
• The same attention and dedication is applied to Pedigree and Grade up herds.
• A professional team in the farm and qualified consultants that help select functional and useful animals support our own commitment.
•Sustained participation in the best shows to compare our standards with those of top ranches around the country.
Las Tranqueras involves the deep commitment of those who initiated it and still own it: Horacio La Valle and Marta Vila Moret de La Valle who add new and ever-renewed hope to their own work at the birth of each new calf.
