Los Fertres Agroindustria SPR de RL de CV began operations in 1985 in the state of Tamaulipas. Thirty years later, in early 2015, the company relocated to the state of Queretaro. Since it was founded, Los Fertres Agroindustria has been consistently growing to the point it has become one of the most accountable in the agricultural sector of the country.
During the initial stages of operation, Los Fertres Agroindustria focused on selling meat from grass fed cattle to a vast number of clients throughout Mexico. In 1991, the company built its first feedlot to be able to continuously supply high quality meat to a particular customer, Aurrera. This company later become Wal Mart de Mexico, making Los Fertres Agroindustria the oldest supplier in the country
This is the only area of the business that still operates in Tamaulipas, where the company has over 3,000 hectares where we have 3,200 cows that are bred with Red Angus bulls. An annual production of 2,500 calves are bred, and distributed as follows: Heifers are kept to continue increasing the herd, and the calves are exported to the USA to continue increasing the herd.

Los Fertres Agroindustria feedlots have an installed capacity of 25,000 head of cattle, and continues to grow year after year. The facilities, from the cattle's point of entry, until it's sent to the slaughterhouse is certified by the “Buenas Prácticas Pecuarias” program that guarantees that every animal will receive a humane treatment, and will be comfortable, and in good overall coniditions.
