RURAL

This weekend Kevin and Lou took some guests along to the local ‘Rural’, or agricultural show in Jesús Maria. Cordoba is one of the most important agricultural provinces in Argentina, with Jesus Maria being one of the main trading centres for a lot of this activity, and the town where our cattle go to auction. The show is a mixture of animals, machinery and agricultural support businesses, along with the obligatory dash of gaucho flare! We spent most of our time between the ‘gaucho games’ and the ‘chicken stand’, where Kevin ended up bringing away two pairs and 6 chicks of some rather exotic looking chicken breeds. Could have been worse . . .could have been a tractor!
