A day on a beef cattle farm

Get to know the day-to-day routine of our beef cattle farmers. Thanks to the locals’ passion for their work and animals, our Valle de Los Pedroches is one of COVAP's best meat-producing regions.

The proper handling of cows on breeding farms and calves destined for meat production is one of the main factors affecting the quality of the end product.
