Synergy
Beef and Lamb
Uruguay’s grass-fed beef and lamb production relies on free-grazing cattle and sheep rotating through native grasslands. This natural, extensive approach eliminates confined feedlots and chemical inputs. Diverse vegetation improves soil health, supports carbon sequestration, and maintains grassland ecosystems through seed dispersal.
The result is a sustainable, environmentally friendly system preserving the land, reducing emissions, ensuring long-term viability and broad prosperity.

Sustainability Initiatives
01
Sustainability
In recent years, we have recognized the new challenges that today’s world faces and woven them directly into the way we run our business. Bit by bit, we have been able to develop a variety of management methods that have now come together to form one fully integrated system focused on long-term sustainability.
02
Environment
All of our production activities take place under a framework that respects and cares for the environment. Since we rely so heavily on the land, it’s our duty to protect its resources so that both current and future generations can continue to thrive. By putting strong environmental management systems into practice and keeping them up to date, we stay true to that promise.
03
Production
From start to finish, our production process is closely monitored by a skilled quality assurance team like MGAP or INAC and a certified microbiological lab. To further ensure top-notch quality, we also work with trusted external laboratories that meet official international accreditation standards such as GACC
04
Quality
We rely on a well-rounded approach that includes Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), Good Manufacturing Practices, Sanitation Standard Operating Procedures, and proper animal welfare measures. Our facilities meet ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and BRC standards. On top of that, our troop-based traceability system helps us confirm each animal’s origin, guaranteeing that our customers knows exactly where their beef comes from.
