Cattle suppliers
Feedlots and ranches
IN THE HEART OF THE HUGHES, IN THE PROVINCE OF SANTA FE, 12 RANCHES AND FEEDLOTS, PROVIDE AMPLE RESOURCES TO FEED OUR CATTLE WITH BOTH PASTURE AND GRAIN. WE ALSO MANAGE 13 PROPERTIES WHICH ARE USED TO BACKGROUND OUR CATTLE AND PREPARE THEM TO ENTER THE FEEDLOT. UP TO 60% OF OUR CATTLE ARE RAISED ON OUR OWN PROPERTIES AND 40% COMES FROM APPROVED SUPPLIERS. WE OFFER GRASS FED MEAT OF HIGH QUALITY STEERS THAT ARE RAISED AND FED IN PASTURES AS WELL AS PREMIUM SELECTED CATTLE THAT ARE GRAIN FED.
IN OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART FEEDLOTS, CATTLE RECEIVE A LOCALLY GROWN AND CAREFULLY PREPARED FEED RATION.
THESE COMPLETELY NATURAL RATIONS ARE DESIGNED TO PRODUCE A RICH FLAVOR AND ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED MARBLING OF DEMANDING CUSTOMERS. BASED ON RESEARCH FROM TEMPLE GRANDIN, OUR CATTLE ARE TREATED GENTLY AND HOUSED IN COMFORT.
OUR CAREFUL HANDLING INCLUDES USING HORSES AND PEOPLE WITHIN THE FEEDLOT TO MOVE THE CATTLE AROUND. THIS CALM AND RELAXING ATMOSPHERE IMPROVES THE TENDERNESS OF THE MEAT.
ALL CATTLE ARE CAREFULLY SELECTED AND MONITORED TO ENSURE THEY MEET THE MOST DEMANDING INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS. THE HUGHES REGION PROVIDES THE BEST QUALITY BEEF IN THE WORLD.

Full compliance with SENASA traceability and animal health regulations
All cattle received at our plant are individually traceable, allowing us to maintain end-to-end visibility from ranch to export container.

Long-term supply agreements
Technical support to meet certification requirements
Participation in sustainability and welfare programs
Through this approach, we ensure that our beef not only meets global standards — it reflects the integrity of the people who raise the animals behind it.
