FEDEGÁN, the representative body for the Colombian livestock sector, has engaged in both technical advancement and commemorative activities. The organization’s “Giras Técnicas Ganaderas” (Livestock Technical Tours) program recently focused on the Magdalena Medio region, providing 354 ranchers with opportunities to study advancements in genetics, nutrition, and sustainable farming practices.

In addition to technical initiatives, the organization marked National Cattleman's Day on September 30. The date honors former president José Raimundo Sojo Zambrano and serves as a memorial for cattle ranchers who have experienced violence, including kidnapping, extortion, and murder. FEDEGÁN continues to manage large-scale sector operations, such as animal vaccinations, while advocating for producers against illegal activities and state-related issues.
