Facilities and equipment for cattle and hog raising:

Cattle under intensive production: A 46 square meter stable equipped for 12 horses. A 2000 square meter corral with some roofed areas, including a cattle chute for adult animals and another for calves, a smithy, a covered corral for calves, a loading ramp and platform. A set of 4 roofed corrals with a capacity of 400 - 600 animals in a feed lot. Complete equipment for planting pasture and any other cultivar required for care of animals, including: A John Deere harvester, a seeding machine, riego equipment, a harrow with 20 disks, a plow with 3 disks, three carts, two tractors, and a sprinkler for the tractor.

Intensive modern hog raising: The hog facilites have room for 1,500 animals of all ages, from newborn to fattening for market, with modern lines in the pie de cria and controlled cruces for growth and fattening. Cerdaza is a potential food for hogs under intensive exploitation. During the last past years we have gained important experience with this type of food.
