LorenzoAs nobody has replied you I will just tell you that before we erradicated them from my country three or four of years ago, we were charging around 2,5 K a week all included (daily rates, buff, transportation,etc).
The owner of the area where most of the bufs lived ask us to cull them due to foot and mouth risk. Wild bovines don't have spece in nowadays meat exporters countries.
I don't understand how they are tolerated in Argentina, or they receive vaticcination ???

In my country a bunch of them may be still roaming around but mostly some cows and young calfs. Nothing worthwhile making a trip down here.

LorenzoHi Juan,
How does the sanitary authorities deal with the buffs populations ?
Does the argentinian buffs receive some kind of vaticination ? How the vets deal with them ??
Here we erradicated them some years ago because the risk of mouth and foot desease was to big.
Uruguayan and argentinian laws say there can't be any kind of bovines without foot and mouth vaticination.
