Bayucuá Stud has been breeding Angus since 1906, under the management of Don Antonio Mattos.
We have always applied state of the arts technology: first AI, then development controls and performance tests and for the last two decades, we have unconditionally supported the implementation of the First Breeding Evaluation Service conducted in Uruguay, which has generated the National EPD.To this end, Bayucuá provided a great deal of the information available by having weighed all our animals (including birth weight since 1958) Working together with Genia Labs (Uruguay) we have supported the first DNA test for tenderness and marbling in South America, as well as the concept of Biological Identity Certificate.
We have managed to improve significantly the EPD for weaning and mature weight, keeping birth weight under control.

Nowadays, after celebrating our centenary, we lead the industry in Uruguay. Bayucua Angus is not only at the top at shows, but also present in the herds of fields of hundreds of satisfied commercial breeders.
The stud is currently managed by the fifth generation of the Mattos family, passionate about the breed and its genetic improvement.
Bayucuá aims, in terms of customers, to provide animals of moderate size, healthy, fertile and long-lived, to contribute to an increase in the value of beef production in a grass-fed based system.
To achieve this, all information available is used through our Safe Genetics and total health program.
