The History of Agrogir

"This race has a future," prophesied the father. And with a little pat on the hip of each cow, he justified the prophecy, "The gir cattle are like the moire of a tree: strong, resistant and unbreakable." The boy listened to his father as he named the oxen and cows, made with green mangoes and orange thorns.

His father, Mr. Tonico, was a small farmer and he was proud of his new acquisition: twenty dairy cows from the gir breed and a breeder, Rock, a name probably inspired by the breed's resistance. His dream was to improve the quality of livestock and to increase milk production, which he sold door to door in the small town of Anhanguera, in the countryside of Goiás. Meanwhile, the boy took care of the details, perfecting his "herd" and  taking care of the "premises". In the enthusiasm of the visionary father and the creativity of the curious boy, the two ends of a story that would be taken back in the future, almost five decades later: the story of Agrogir.
