The Castells family of Florida, Uruguay, exhibited Southdown sheep at the annual Expo Prado this year, continuing a long-held tradition.
La Lucila, the family’s ranch, presented four sheep, including three of their own breeding. Guillermina Castells explained that competing at the Expo Prado is about more than winning, as the work with the animals and their preparation is a shared activity among sisters, cousins, and the wider family.
This year marked a first for La Lucila, as they were able to compete for the Grand Championship for male sheep of the Southdown breed. The family also celebrated a special recognition. The Asociación Rural del Uruguay (ARU) honored Jaime Castells, the great-uncle of Guillermina, for his contributions. The family expressed their joy at having a member recognized by the ARU.
The return of Southdown sheep to the Prado and the family’s continued dedication to the breed demonstrate their commitment to both animal husbandry and intergenerational bonds.
