The number of farms will vary depending on the terrain provided and its quality and location.
Flocks may be of 600 breeding for two units of human labor.
Since we want a pasture in areas with difficult terrain, we should bet on indigenous breeds, by its better adaptation to the environment and its greater resistance and hardiness, they are best suited to achieving this objective.
Therefore, the breeds considered most appropriate for the project are: Agrupación de las Mesetas, Verata, Retinta, Serrana Portuguesa, Preta de Montesinho, Charnequeira and Bravia.
Another important aspect to consider is the load of cattle, set the maximum loads will be scrupulously adhered to, especially in the areas included in Natura 2000. Moreover, the grazing rotation must be properly managed, so that all lands are grazed evenly. It is also important to consider that these flocks provide a cleaning service under the power lines and firebreaks. These services will represent extra revenues for the herds ,and at the same time, a sustainable form of carry out this works, mandatory for power companies and public administrations.
