Track Record
Experience built through the complete development of a cattle operation.
Our capabilities come from direct involvement in real projects.
The following case studies demonstrate the partners’ practical experience in transforming rural properties into structured and productive cattle operations.
The owner’s identity and precise location remain confidential.
Case Study
Fazenda Parlamento
Fazenda Parlamento was acquired in 2017 and sold in full operation in 2019.
The project involved the complete development of an 832-hectare property, with approximately 602 hectares dedicated to cattle production.
Development began with a complete technical assessment — including soil analysis, drone mapping, digital terrain modeling and engineering planning for the operational infrastructure.

Methodology: Results are calculated using the COE, COT and CT cost methodologies.
Challenge
The property had to be developed entirely from scratch. There were no productive pastures and virtually no operational infrastructure.
The challenge was to transform an abandoned rural property into a modern and highly productive cattle operation.
Scope of Work
The scope of work included:
- environmental licensing and regulatory approvals
- authorized vegetation clearing
- timber recovery and management
- soil correction and fertility improvement
- contour terraces and erosion control
- pasture establishment
- fertilization program
- deep water well (187 meters / 10,000 liters per hour)
- complete water distribution system with pipelines, reservoirs and water troughs
- division into approximately 40-hectare production modules with 5-hectare paddocks
- rotational grazing implementation
- feeding areas
- concrete feed bunks
- internal gravel roads designed for mixer wagon operation
- feed mill construction
- storage capacity for approximately 100 tons of corn and 100 tons of protein supplements
- operational infrastructure including headquarters, housing and cattle-handling facilities
Results
The project was fully completed within approximately two years.
When the property was sold in 2019 it was already operating as a modern integrated cattle production system, with established pastures, complete operational infrastructure and an efficient intensive feeding system.

Case Study
1,045-Hectare Cattle Ranch Development
Inherited in 2022, this cattle ranch entered a comprehensive development program in 2024 that remains in progress.
The project covers a 1,045-hectare property, with approximately 900 hectares dedicated to productive use. The engagement began with drone mapping, soil sampling, and technical assessments that guided pasture rehabilitation, infrastructure planning, and land division.
A comprehensive short-, medium-, and long-term business plan was developed, defining production targets, investment priorities, annual budgets, and commercialization objectives.

Methodology: Results are calculated using the COE, COT and CT cost methodologies.
Challenge
The property required a complete operational transformation.
Pastures were in an advanced state of degradation, infrastructure was virtually nonexistent, and stocking capacity was well below its productive potential.
The objective was not simply to improve an existing operation, but to build a modern, efficient cattle enterprise from the ground up.
Scope of Work
The scope of work includes:
- environmental licensing and regulatory approvals
- water-use permits
- soil correction and fertility improvement
- contour verification, recovery and land conservation
- pasture renovation
- establishment and production fertilization
- internal paddock subdivision
- rotational grazing implementation
- feeding area construction
- installation of concrete and bag feed bunks
- feed distribution infrastructure using a mixer wagon
- construction and rehabilitation of internal roads
- grain processing and storage facilities
- storage capacity for 200 tons of corn
- complete water distribution infrastructure, including reservoirs, pipelines and water troughs
- operational infrastructure, including housing and cattle-handling facilities
Current Status
The project remains under development. Approximately 60% of the master plan has been completed.
Investments were intentionally phased so that the operation itself progressively generates the capital required for subsequent stages.
Full implementation is projected by the end of 2029.

Case Study
2,333-Hectare Integrated Cattle Ranch Development
Inherited in 2020, this cattle ranch entered a comprehensive development program in 2021 that remains in progress.
The project covers a 2,333-hectare property, with approximately 1,726 hectares dedicated to agricultural and livestock production. The engagement began with drone mapping, soil sampling, and technical assessments that guided pasture rehabilitation, infrastructure planning, land division, and long-term production strategy.
A comprehensive short-, medium-, and long-term business plan was developed, establishing production targets, investment priorities, annual budgets, and commercialization objectives.

Methodology: Results are calculated using the COE, COT and CT cost methodologies.
Challenge
The property required a complete operational restructuring.
Pastures were in an advanced state of degradation and the existing operational infrastructure was insufficient to support efficient production.
A phased development strategy was created to rehabilitate the pastures, expand the herd gradually and modernize the entire production system.
Today the operation significantly exceeds the national average, reaching approximately 23 arrobas per hectare during 2025 while generating livestock profitability exceeding R$ 2,200 per productive hectare during the 2024/2025 production cycle.
Scope of Work
The scope of work includes:
- environmental licensing and regulatory approvals
- water-use permits
- soil correction and fertility improvement
- contour verification, recovery and land conservation
- pasture renovation
- establishment and production fertilization
- internal paddock subdivision
- rotational grazing implementation
- feeding area construction
- installation of concrete feed bunks
- feed distribution infrastructure using a mixer wagon
- construction and rehabilitation of internal roads
- grain processing and storage facilities
- grain storage capacity for 120 tons of corn
- complete water distribution infrastructure, including reservoirs, pipelines and water troughs
- operational infrastructure, including housing and cattle-handling facilities
Current Status
The project remains under development. Approximately 90% of the master plan has already been completed.
Investments were intentionally phased so that the operation itself progressively generated the capital required for each subsequent stage.
Full implementation is projected by the end of 2026.
