Cooprinsem was founded in 1968 and today has over $170 million in sales with 26 branch offices and owned by 450 farmers with over 30000 members. If you are farming in Chile you most likely will have some association with them. We saw milk testing and soil sampling in the labs. 
Travelled through lovely countryside with lots of native and exotic trees. Everywhere there are lovely big specimen trees in the paddocks. We visited the Schmitt family Hereford and Angus stud and fattening unit. Melanie (daughter) was running the property and had a superb eye for stock. Great to see horses used by the Gauchos.

Well fed yet again - in the family bbq room. Most farms here have them.
Ruth and Bernardo Eggers owned this lovely property. Calves beautifully cared for and so cute...
Marco runs the farm and here we are learning more about Bernardo's passion apart from his lovely wife of 47 years ... His auto museum!!
Studebaker heaven!!
Inside a bottle store near our hotel. Beautifully displayed!!
