Cattle, fresh grass, tropical climate, hospitality, great food, and... connecting with fellow breeders. These are just a few words that come to mind when recalling the week our team spent in Colombia. Most importantly, it was evident that ‘Any Country is Brangus Country’.Before getting into the details and experiences our breeders had in Colombia, it is essential to understand the current conditions our fellow breeders face in Colombia. Colombia is home to more than 51 million people with an annualgrowth of -10. Despite this growth, agriculture GDP has remained a stable 6.8 with livestock encompassing half of this total. Colombia has many different high ranks: 2nd most biodiverse country in the world,13th in the world for beef, and #7 this yearin U.S. imports worldwide. This can be attributed to the 10-year anniversary of the US-Colombia Free Trade Agreement. Coincidentally, this marked the 200th anniversary of U.S.-Colombia diplomatic relations making Colombia one of our strongest allies inSouth America.
