After shearing, another essential stage in the
preparation of our flock of BioNNOMÍA arrives: the marking with the iron of
Fundación Monte Mediterráneo with paint. This is a key process before our sheep
embark on their journey to the mountain passes of the Cantabrian Range.
In the high mountain pastures, where they can
meet other flocks from other farms, this traditional system that uses marking
with paint becomes the unmistakable identity of every sheep. It is our way of
distinguishing "ours", ensuring their safety and streamlining its
management within a collaborative setting. Moreover, it allows to identify the
animal easier, for example, using binoculars, in case they wander off.
In Fundación Monte Mediterráneo, we handle the
marking with equal care and respect for animal welfare as the shearing. It is
another step in our commitment to ensure our sheep are well-prepared and safe
for their vital role in ecosystem conservation.
