Pampa and beef production
Argentina plays a leading role as a beef exporter country. The Pampa is the most privileged region, because of its climate, grazing fields and topography, so that the finest european cattle breeds, Hereford and Angus, are produced in this area (in the pictures you find Aberdeen Angus, red and black). 80% of the Argentinian's cattle live in the Pampa.
The superb quality of Argentinian beef is based on the breeding methods, performed at the "estancias"(farms), wide extensions of natural grazing lands, where offsprings are kept with their mother for about 8 to 10 month, milk fed, and progressively introducing grass into diet. After weaning, veals are moved to grazing on natural open-air pastures for fattening, without any use of hormones or anabolics whatsoever.
