Production: As a farm Isla Lobos, it has ideal conditions for cattle breeding, horses, forestry, honey, etc. Today, on approximately half of the estancia a cattle-herd of 500 head is producing year-round grass-fed calves, of which some are held to grow the cattle herd and some sold. The other half of the island is kept natural, partially flood-land, for indigenous fauna and flora. During flooding's the cattle move to higher land and during dry times there is always sufficient food in the wetlands. Cattle are transported with a simple pontoon (called Huckleberry Finn) with an outboard engine. The horses of the Estancia are utilised by the Gauchos for their daily ride to check the cattle and serve for fun horse-back riding through the campo and on the long, private sand beach.
Due to its unique location, away from pollution, honey of export quality can be produced.
