"Crash Livestock: 2,000 surplus bulls." Cordoba


The sword of Damocles hanging crisis looming on the Fiesta, as one of the economic sectors of Spain, has sunk to the hawks in the rough rubble field. The downhill economic branches in the paddock as the long shadows of the trees. So far this season, shows reduction in the field has left more than 2,200 surplus bulls. Only until August celebrations were held over 354 (runs, shank and heifers) less than in 2008. The accounts are clear if multiplied, without including hats, for the six bulls that in each: 2,124 animals have been made and no ring. If this is compounded by the decline of amateur and folk festivals streets, the number shoots like a rocket to the moon in 69. The city coffers have turned off the tap for bullfighting, so many farmers, especially those under name, second row or 'marks white ", have been pushed to urgently rethink the future. Since last season was expected a decline, but few imagined the debacle. Less
paseíllo. This translates into less paseíllo of bullfighters, and not just the modest, but also those who monopolize the top of the ladder. As shown in table illustrating the information, El Fandi leader in 2008, he had 83 runs last year in late August and he, 66 the same time, the runner (El Cid) last season totaled 69, this The second position (Perera) accumulates 58. Any negative reading has a positive angle: celebrations disappear artificial unprofitable assemblies, which inflated the market and a roster with more than 200 murderers. The bullfighters are worse off: only 24 has done little walk 'number 1'. And that is the figure layer, white horse and patrons who came from other sectors has left the scene. The flaggers also suffer from the crisis with greater sensitivity. The employer does not escape to a smaller crowd, only capeada collaboration with most figures.
of the fat to skinny. If we take it two years ago, the matter takes dyes fatal. In 2007, the brilliant record of 2,176 set a celebration, a market for a runaway figure overstated. The age of cows fat pen opened the skinny: 300 less were held in 2008. This season is yet another litmus test: Taurine September, the largest number of celebrations in August. Reduction
heads. Breeders' associations bulls do not hide their concern. Since the Union of Breeders (UCTL), which brings 75 percent of the iron -321-holders and 47 candidates, have warned of the danger: "They sell little and there is plenty left over in the field," says Isabel Carpio, secretary the UCTL. He explains some "tricks" for this terrible recession more bearable in the future: "Some mothers will reduce the number of the minimum required (More rigor in the selection). " Others will try to sell them to people (so called "bous al carrer 'or bulls Mediterranean street can buy today a run for the price of a bull) or for training of skilled, low cost. Some will choose for the decline of head. "It is ludicrous, because at least they do not cost a year in winter." Although many have thought of this possibility can not eliminate all expectation: "We talk to extensive livestock ranching, so you have to keep the number of cattle per hectare. It seeks to restore the environmental balance, although in the case of the bull is more than overcome, it remains an ecosystem unique '.
The slaughterhouse: a run for it's worth raising a bull. The Macelo appears as one of the last options, the costs for raising a bull ranging over three thousand euros, varies according to the territory, there are more expenses, for example, in the mountains of Madrid in the Andalusian marshes, and a slaughter their meat is worth just five hundred euros. In other words, you pay for a run is worth the same as raising a bull. "We paid 1.70 euros per kilo carcass of a male or cinqueño cuatreño" show from the slaughterhouse Madrid-Norte de San Agustín de Guadalix, which buys most bull fight in streets of the Community. Close
herds. Amid this critical situation, more than a farmer will have no choice but to close the gate. Experts say that some new kind of disappear, many "brick" (builders enriched housing bubble) - which embarked on this adventure on a whim and vanity than a hobby. "The lifetime, with tradition and vocation, they will fight to stay, but maybe other ...», says Carpio. Despite the severe damage of the crisis, will be a way to redirect the market and be more rigorous in the selection. In good times all worth while demand is absorbing everything, and now the tables have turned: more supply than demand. Rebates
runs. While some will be left with half of the litter in the enclosures, other farms (trademarks) have sold almost everything and almost kept prices on the fair circuit. Of course, the depreciation of the runs of intermediate and low iron is considerable: some have not passed the tiny amount of nine billion euros, which does not cover production costs. As early as 1984 warned Don Alvaro Domecq y Díez that "while not paid by a bull at the top of the 650,000 pesetas and run, therefore, above 3,900,000 pesetas, the benefits are so small, if the has, not surprisingly there who be discouraged. " Not half charge some per run. It is the law of supply and demand: more waste and less celebration, which will release some more rebates foreign department stores in January. Competition 'unfair' has emerged.
Health Policy. Although the picture is crude for any livestock, greatly to the bulls. Precisely because of the rough condition, the bull requires special handling and requires, however, a schedule like meek. Account Carpio, Secretary of the UCTL that is widespread disenchantment with the European health policy, strictly enforced by the autonomous communities. The controls have multiplied as veterinary costs. Every now and must move to clean up an entire livestock. As if it were the docile bull beef.
