Spent the weekend in northern Patagonia studying an irrigation system that allows this estancia to grow alfalfa for thousands of cattle. Innovation and perseverance! #efjourney #argentina #patagonia

[Kim Brackett @beefmatters]

Riding gaucho style! #efjourney #argentina

[Kim Brackett @beefmatters]

Learned so much from the wonderful folks at INTA in Tandil. The value of a systems based approach to livestock grazing is tough to beat! #efjourney #argentina

[Kim Brackett @beefmatters]

Spent the day at a vertically integrated beef production company. Their enthusiasm and optimistic business plan was encouraging to see. We discussed management differences in a forage finished system and a mixed forage and grain system. #efjourney #argentina

[Kim Brackett @beefmatters]

Enjoyed the day learning more in-depth about the changing finishing methods in Argentina—different options within the grain-fed category and the strategic decision making required for grass-fed. #efjourney #argentina

[Kim Brackett @beefmatters]

La Pampa! Learning about how Argentinians care for their grasslands. #efjourney #argentina

Patagonia is home to thousands of cattle, sheep and goats. Also guanacos! #efjourney #patagonia
