Angus Spring Week in Argentina

Overview

The 47th Angus Spring Week was held at the Cañuelas Auction and Exhibition Center in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The event involved approximately 300 registered breeders from 60 ranches and included the 26th Angus Calf Exhibition, with sales of between 50,000 and 60,000 head of cattle conducted via televised and streaming auctions.

Major livestock honors were awarded during the event. The title of Grand Champion Female went to ‘Primavera’, a red cow from Alejandro Spinella’s Don Romeo ranch, noted by judge Julio Fernández for its balance of functional and productive characteristics. In the heifer category, ‘Kuko’ from the La Juanita ranch was named Grand Champion Calf.

Industry representatives highlighted the genetic importance of the breed, noting that 70 percent of animals intended for consumption in Argentina possess Angus genes or crosses. Patricia Iglesias, coordinator of the Argentine Angus Association, emphasized the resilience required to navigate the economic challenges and biological timelines of the livestock sector.
