Juan Jesús Cano Herruzo
Dairy Goat Farmer
His story: I started looking after my animals as a hobby, helping my parents on the farm.
For me, COVAP is: These days, the quality of COVAP products, the guaranteed collection of my dairy production, all in all, the security that COVAP offers me, lets me develop my work and become more professional every day.
His words: I see a future and stable work for my goat milk business. I am excited about moving forward and improving my livestock.
Jesús Mena Mena
Dairy Sheep Farmer
His story: I've been a farmer practically since I was born, I love the countryside and the animals. Firstly, I worked with dairy cows and then dairy sheep. With the hard work of my family and the professionalism and advice of my technicians in COVAP, I've been able to realize an unimaginable dream: to create my own cheese factory with milk taken from our animals.
For me, COVAP is: My thanks to COVAP always, from the very start to the present day. I think of myself as a member and a friend.
His words: A lifetime alongside great professionals, who have helped me to advance with my work, efforts and dedication to my livestock.
Juan Masa Calles
Beef Cattle Farmer
His story: I'm 48 years old and was in the farming world right from birth, as my family were farmers. My father made me take part in all of the jobs he had to do as a crop and livestock farmer, and passed on his know-how as a sort of treasure. After studying in the School of Agricultural Engineering in Badajoz, and following the death of my father, I took charge of the family business.
For me, COVAP is: Guarantee and peace of mind regarding the results of my business. They have defended and promoted the incorporation of our cooperative in Extremadura "Alto Ruecas".
His words: Always put on a brave face!
Antonio Sanchez Romero
Ganadería Sánchez Romero SCP
His story: Antonio started with his grandfather many years ago, hand milking into churns, and he remembers that each animal had its own name, all of which he can still recall (The Butterfly, Canarias, ... ) A fond memory indeed... Before him, there was his father, Victoriano, with his grandfather. He remembers working at night and having to combine this with his daytime work helping with the cows. On returning from military service at the age of 22, he bought the cows off his grandfather and took over the business. Several years ago, his brother José María joined the business.
For me, COVAP is: My home, and I hope that we'll always be able to carry on working to build a future for our members, as we have until now.
His words: "Do something well, and it looks good"
Pedro Moreno García
Ibérico Pork Farmer
His story: I started work at the age of 15 during the 1960s. My father, Pedro Moreno Cabrera, passed on his knowledge and experience of livestock farming to me, something he had got from my grandfather, Aurelio. My whole family has traditionally been linked to the world of agriculture and livestock farming. I feel like I've grown up alongside COVAP.
For me, COVAP is: COVAP is my home, my whole working life and family life have been completely tied to the cooperative and influenced by it.
His words: Reliability, a spirit of sacrifice, tenacity, a capacity to adapt to changes, these guarantee our future.
José Gómez Romero
Meat Sheep Farmer
His story: I've always seen COVAP as my home, and when I inherited my father's membership number, I started working as a farmer with my lamb meat business. I joined to use the feed and I had no doubts about handing over my lamb production for safety and convenience in selling.
For me, COVAP is: For me, COVAP is a guarantee for the future. A serious organization that gives me peace of mind and security, that takes on my problems and helps me to find solutions. In COVAP, I don't feel like a simple vendor of sheep, but rather a businessman who's part of the bigger project that the Cooperative offers us.
His words: Reliability, a spirit of sacrifice, tenacity, a capacity to adapt to changes, these guarantee our future.
