History: Founded in 1880 by D. Filiberto Mira of Olivenza (Badajoz), with cattle from the Marqués de la Conquista of the Jijona strain. In 1902 it passed to D. Antonio Soler and later to his widow, Dª Casimira Fernández, who expanded it with cattle from Campos Varela and a stud bull from the Conde de la Corte. In 1937 it was acquired by D. Claudio Moura, who added several Conde de la Corte stud bulls. Following D. Claudio’s death in 1956, it was bought by D. Diego D’Affonseca Passanha, later passing to his daughter Dª María Passanha and then his grandson D. Joaquín Sobral. The herd grazes on estates bordering the Guadiana River in the municipality of Beja. In 2001 four Torrestrella stud bulls were added. A year later, in 2002, it was acquired by Herdade dos Monteses-Agricultura e Produçao Animal Sociedade Unipessoal, Ltda., managed by D. Álvaro Domecq Romero, who bought 60 Torrestrella cows and retained 60 cows of Jijona origin from D. Joaquín Sobral. In 2006 all cattle of Jijona origin were removed. In 2015 the company was acquired by the Vázquez Gavira family, under the management of D. Manuel Vázquez Gavira. In 2017 the herd was expanded with a lot of cows and stud bulls from Torrestrella.
