Sheep run through Madrid to winter pastures

October 24, 2022 / 7:41 AM
Sharjah24 – AFP: Flocks of sheep take over the streets of downtown Madrid on their way to winter pastures in Spain's northern mountains. "When the fields get dry on the south, they walk more than 1000 kilometers to the northern mountains," says shepherd Jesús Garzón Heydt.
Commenting on this, Jesús Garzón Heydt, shepherd and president of Concejo de la Mesta said,"When the fields get dry on the south, they walk more than 1000 kilometers to the northern mountains. Everything's covered with snow over there but in June the snow melts and we arrive just in time for the blooming fields. The shepherds live in a perpetual spring."

He added, "We only have eight years [before Agenda 2030] and for this cattle raising it's fundamental because it's sustainable, it's only fed with natural resources, we don't have to import compound and GMO feed from America."
