During the 2019 ExpoLeche In Guatemala City, Guatemala, the president of AsoBrahman, Rodolfo Garcia Pacheco, presented the first ever Hall of Fame award to Raimundo and Regina Rioja of Hacienda La Esperanza. The following are his comments to Raimundo and Regina during the presentation.<\/p>\n
Hacienda La Esperanza is located on the southern coast of Guatemala and is dedicated to different agricultural activities and the raising of pure Gray and Red Brahman cattle, for which it has won countless awards in the major Central American shows. For more than 50 years, you can say with satisfaction, that your Brahman genetics have been exported and can be found from Mexico to Paraguay and Argentina.<\/p>\n
Raimundo is of Mexican origin and graduated from the University of Texas A&M. In 1965 he married Regina Aguirre; Guatemalan and from a family with an agricultural and livestock background. In 1970, they began breeding a herd of purebred cattle with a group of heifers in La Esperanza. Among these heifers were bloodlines from ranches such as V8 and J.D. Hudgins of the United States.<\/p>\n
From the beginning the couple set a goal to produce bulls that transmitted the production of the best carcass traits in the shortest possible time. They focused on performance genetic lines, as well as breeding a herd with all the excellent qualities of the Brahman breed. Among the outstanding bulls we can mention the RR Zagalo Balam 4851, RR Bronco Didor 3703, RR Guerrero Grande TE 4493; all which have been Central American champions. Among their most prominent and award-winning cows are RR Chavela Warrior 2986 and RR Princesita Zag TE 6237, both extraordinary females of the breed.<\/p>\n
All this has been possible thanks to an excellent team that is supported and led by both Raimundo and Regina. Raimundo is dedicated to the thorough study of the different genetic lines, to the high quality control of the herd and also keeps up with the latest technology advancements of the industry.<\/p>\n
He was founder of Asobrahman in Guatemala and director of it since the inception, as well as being a member and past director of the ABBA.<\/p>\n
Don\u0303a Regina is consistent with her unconditional responsibility towards the families of La Esperanza workers, the environment and the surrounding community.<\/p>\n
Together they have instilled noble values and the appreciation of the Brahman breed to their children and grandchildren. There is no doubt that they have set a precedent for excellence and we hope it will be a legacy that will last generation after generation.<\/p>\n
Durante la ExpoLeche 2019 en la Ciudad de Guatemala, el presidente de AsoBrahman, Rodolfo Garci\u0301a Pacheco, entrego\u0301 el primer premio del Salo\u0301n de la Fama a Raimundo y Regina Rioja de Hacienda La Esperanza. Los siguientes son comentarios dedicados a Raimundo y Regina durante la presentacio\u0301n.<\/p>\n
Hacienda La Esperanza esta\u0301 ubicada en la costa sur de Guatemala y se dedica a diferentes actividades agri\u0301colas y a la crianza de ganado puro Brahman Gris y Rojo por lo que ha obtenido innumerables premios en las principales exposiciones centroamericanas. Por ma\u0301s de 50 an\u0303os, puede decir con satisfaccio\u0301n que sus linajes se han extendido desde Me\u0301xico hasta Paraguay y Argentina por las exportaciones que se han realizado.<\/p>\n
Raimundo es de origen mexicano y graduado de la Universidad de Texas A&M, en 1965 contrajo matrimonio con Regina Aguirre; guatemalteca y procedente de una familia con vocacio\u0301n agri\u0301cola y ganadera. En 1970 comenzaron en La Esperanza la crianza de un hato de ganado pura sangre con un grupo de novillas entre las cuales se contaba tambie\u0301n con algunas originarias de los ranchos V8 y J.D. Hudgins de Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n
La pareja desde un principio se puso como meta producir sementales que transmitieran la produccio\u0301n de la mejor carne en el menor tiempo posible e introdujo li\u0301neas gene\u0301ticas en esa caracteri\u0301stica; asi\u0301 como llegar a tener un hato con todas las excelentes cualidades de la raza Brahman. Dentro de sus sementales sobresalientes podemos mencionar al RR Zagalo Balam 4851, RR Bronco Didor 3703, RR Guerrero Grande TE 4493; todos campeones centroamericanos. Dentro de sus vacas ma\u0301s destacadas y premiadas esta\u0301n la RR Chavela Warrior 2986 y RR Princesita Zag TE 6237, ambas extraordinarias ejemplares de la raza.<\/p>\n
Todo esto ha sido posible gracias a un excelente equipo de trabajo que es respaldado y dirigido por ambos. Raimundo se dedica al estudio minucioso de las diferentes li\u0301neas gene\u0301ticas, al alto control de calidad del hato y en mantenerse al di\u0301a con la alta tecnologi\u0301a de la industria. Fue fundador de Asobrahman en Guatemala y director de la misma desde entonces, asi\u0301 como miembro de la ABBA por los u\u0301ltimos an\u0303os. Don\u0303a Regina es constante con su incondicional responsabilidad hacia las familias de trabajadores de La Esperanza, el medio ambiente y la comunidad que los rodea. Juntos han inculcado valores nobles y la apreciacio\u0301n de la raza a sus hijos y nietos. No cabe duda que han sentado un precedente de excelencia y esperamos que sea un legado que dure generacio\u0301n tras generacio\u0301n.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
