Since 2008 at Cabaña Marsala we continue to bet on the Bonsmara breed as we observe its power to adapt to the harsh conditions of Los Llanos de La Rioja every day. We firmly believe that the introduction of the breed in the area could be the kickoff for a resurgence of the livestock industry in the region, with technology, genetics and results equivalent to the best regions of the country.

The Bonsmara breed was specially created by the South African Jan Bonsma to achieve the best butcher results in a harsh and hostile environment like the African. We started by buying Riojan cows, the ones that know the plains best and thrive in the bushes. Seeking to improve their productivity and meat quality, we introduced Bonsmara blood, a South African breed developed through a strong selection in fertility, its adaptation to the environment and meekness. This incorporation has given excellent results in the pregnancy and weaning indices, as well as in the quality of the meat and its ease of fattening, always maintaining its docility and adaptation to the environment.
