Julian Baltasar Galarza

Julian is 27 years of age, and he lives with his wife and two children, ages 10 and 5. He is a livestock breeder; he has little cows which he breeds and grazes every morning. He has been doing this for the past 5 years and considers it very profitable. He takes his livestock to the pastures every morning for nourishment. Then, after caring for them for several months, he takes them to be sold, but this phase is complicated due to transportation issues. Because he does not own his own vehicle, he must adjust to the schedules and prices that are offered to him. He also sporadically ventures into agriculture, but he does not do this full-time because he believes that times have changed considerably like for it to be a satisfactory occupation.

Julian’s two children are his reason for continuing his efforts as a livestock breeder and farmer. Today, he wishes to invest in the improvement of his beef cattle, which is more profitable in the markets.

Es ganadero, tiene vaquitas a las que cría y pastea todas las mañanas, actividad que viene realizando desde hace 5 años y considera rentable.Esta actividad le toda la mañanas para llevarlos a los pastizales a que se alimenten, luego de haberlos cuidado durante varios meses, los lleva a vender, etapa que se hace complicada por motivos del transporte, al no tener un propio vehículo, debe amoldarse a los tiempos y precios que le ofrezcan.Esporádicamente también se dedica a la agricultura, pero no lo hace de lleno, porque considera que los tiempos han cambiado mucho para que sea una labor satisfactoria.
