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.
Calixto Gil
Ganadero de cerdo ibérico
Su historia: Mi historia comienza en 1985 cuando me hago cargo de la granja. Pasados unos años en 1990 empiezo a involucrarme en la sección ovino, vacuno y porcino, que son las tres especies de ganado que crío. Por otro lado, desde 2001 con la ayuda de mi mujer nos hicimos cargo de la Agrotienda COVAP de Azuel.
COVAP es para mi: Gracias a COVAP he podido desarrollarme como ganadero y sacar mi familia adelante.
Sus palabras: Constancia.
Mª José Pozuelo
Ganadero de cerdo ibérico
Su historia: Empecé trabajando con mi padre hasta que decidí emprender y montar mi propia ganadería. En esta etapa trabajo diariamente para conseguir la línea de animales que más me gusta y para obtener los mejores resultados.
COVAP es para mi: Un gran apoyo para el ganadero gracias a las ayudas al socio y el asesoramiento que nos ofrecen a lo largo del desarrollo del ganado.
Sus palabras: Luchar día a día por una ganadería lo más sostenible y a la vez placentera posible.
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"
Francisco Gil
Ganadería Huerta Rizquez
Su historia: Esta ganadería comenzó su actividad con mi padre al frente y fue creciendo mientras yo me iba formando. Pero el apego a mi familia y la pasión que sentía por la granja y los animales hizo que al finaganadero-l tanto mi hermano como yo tomáramos el relevo.
COVAP es para mi: Nací con COVAP dando sus primeros pasos por lo que para mí: granja, familia y COVAP siempre han ido unidas y forman parte de mi vida.
Sus palabras: La mejor medicina para llevar las dificultades que se presentan en este sector es disfrutar trabajando
Maripaz Capilla
Ganadera vacuno de leche
Su historia: Mi historia en esta actividad empieza siendo muy pequeña, cuando acompañaba a mis padres a soltar a las vacas a pastar, a darles de beber leche a los becerros y también los ayudaba a ordeñar. Por eso cuando iba llegando la fecha de jubilación de mi padre me hice cargo de la granja.
COVAP es para mi: Nací con COVAP dando sus primeros pasos por lo que para mí: granja, familia y COVAP es exigencia, seguridad y confianza.
Sus palabras: Da siempre lo mejor de ti.
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!
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.
Plácido y Saturnina Caballero Rubio
Ganadería de Ovino de Leche
Su historia: José, nuestro padre, comenzó con la ganadería en el año 199. Éramos pequeños y para nosotros ir al campo era una diversión con la que poco a poco fuimos creciendo y aprendiendo el oficio. Hoy en día somos unos verdaderos ganaderos gracias a todo el esfuerzo y dedicación de nuestro padre que además tuvo que criarnos él solo, inculcándonos la pasión, el amor y el trabajo por el ganado ovino.
COVAP es para mi: Es grandeza, están siempre atentos de sus socios y gracias a eso se hacen productos espectaculares, ¡No hay palabras para describir a la cooperativa!
Sus palabras: Al trabajo hay que ponerle pasión, amor y esfuerzo para obtener la mejor leche de oveja del mundo.
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.
