Livestock producers in Paraguay and Argentina host cattle auctions and genetic trials

Several livestock producers and academic institutions in Paraguay and Argentina are conducting auctions and genetic evaluations to advance cattle breeding standards.

In Paraguay, Ganadera Los Lazos is auctioning 80 Brangus bulls focused on feed conversion efficiency and carcass characteristics. Separately, Freemont SA is hosting an elite Brahman female auction, featuring pedigree animals selected through 15 years of reproductive biotechnology to serve as potential donors for breeding programs.

In Argentina, Estancia La Pelada is selling 250 Braford and Brahman breeders, including bulls and heifers adapted to northern regional conditions. Additionally, the Universidad del Centro Santa Fe (UCSF) has launched a pioneering project in Santa Fe to evaluate Limangus bulls in grazing systems rather than traditional feedlots, aiming to provide strategic data for regional livestock improvement.
