    Description

    Hola my name is Estela. My dedication is breeding cattle and sheep. I have a silvo pasture farm in which other then the sheeps and cattle I also have dogs, goats, cats and a horse. There also is a vegetable garden. The farm is located in the quiet countryside of Colonia. I prefer to have volunteers who love to work outside and have some basic knowledge about animals.

    Hola me llamo Estela. Mi dedicación es la cría de ganado vacuno y ovino. Tengo una finca de silvo pastos en la que a parte de ovejas y vacuno tengo perros, cabras, gatos, pollos y un caballo. También hay un huerto. La granja está situada en el tranquilo campo de Colonia. Prefiero voluntarios a los que les guste trabajar al aire libre y que tengan conocimientos básicos sobre animales.
