Modular Production

You buy the animal. We build the container around it.

No stock, no speculation, no cherry-picking cuts. You buy the livestock at that week's market reference price, we add the fee for transport, slaughter and export — and we load exactly what that animal naturally yields, at natural ratio.

How the price is built

Four layers. Nothing hidden.

No negotiation on the livestock — that part is 100% transparent, set by the Uruguayan livestock market that week. Everything South Bull and Frigorífico Solís add is a clearly defined fee.

01

Livestock

Market value for that week, per the Uruguayan livestock exchange (Mercado de Consignatarios). Zero speculation.

02

Transport

South Bull's fee to move the animals to Frigorífico Solís.

03

Slaughter & export

Solís fee: slaughter, sanitary certification, export documentation and container booking.

04

Freight

Your choice: FOB (you arrange pickup), CFR (+ ocean freight), or CIF (+ ocean freight + insurance).

How this really works

No cherry-picking — the animal decides the combination.

There is no quantity selection in this program. Every animal slaughtered yields a fixed combination of cuts, bone, fat and trim — and that is what gets loaded, at its natural proportion. If you'd rather not take a category (bones, for example), it simply isn't loaded, and the rest is still built at natural ratio among what remains.

Category (cow / "vaca")% of total production
Rear cuts (ribeye, rump, tenderloin, knuckle, shin, flank...)36.4%
Front cuts (chuck, brisket, shoulder clod...)22.3%
Short ribs / asado cuts14.9%
Bone, fat & trimmings26.4%
Total100%

Figures shown are for cow ("vaca"). Steer, heifer and bull categories have their own yield profile — ask us for the breakdown for your preferred category.

3 loads shown — 78,000 kg total reference production. Percentages are each cut's share of that total.

Both references show the same principle at different scale: the natural yield decides the composition, not a pick list.

The core rule

You don't pick quantities. What the process yields, gets loaded.

There is no "I want 500kg of this, 2 tons of that." Every container is built at the natural ratio the animal actually produces. If you'd rather skip a category entirely — bones, for example — it simply isn't loaded, and everything else is still built at natural ratio among what remains. Want offal? It's loaded, at its natural yield. Want the hides? Same.

Packing

Block-frozen or vacuum-packed (Solís Cycle 1 / Cycle 2) — your choice.

Bone-in or boneless

Either is produced. Bone-in stays bone-in across the load; boneless, the same.

Frozen, chilled, or mixed

Full frozen, full chilled, or part chilled / part frozen in the same container — all three are produced.

Sea or air freight

Ocean container is the default; air freight is produced when your programme needs it.

Labeling

Every carton leaves Solís with the sanitary authorizations required for export and the South Bull mark. Your own commercial private label goes on top, within what is sanitarily accepted at destination.

Incoterm

FOB Uruguay, CFR, or CIF, with full documents — you decide how much of the logistics chain South Bull handles.

How you're charged

A fee, not a published price per ton.

There is no catalog price per MT produced — the economics are yours to work out, built from the livestock market value plus a transparent processing fee, agreed stage by stage before anything starts. You're free to commission your own inspections — any inspector you choose, any check you want — before the container closes, at your own cost.

Export markets

Where this program ships today.

If your destination market is not yet authorized, authorization is requested once your order exists — production follows demand here, not the other way around.

United States European Union Israel Russia — confirming China — to be confirmed South Korea — to be confirmed Japan — to be confirmed
Secure, staged payment

You only pay for what has actually happened.

Payment is released in stages, matched to each step actually completed. If payment stops at any stage, the only party affected is the buyer — South Bull and Solís have already made everything available up to that point.

1

Order confirmation

Production slot reserved for your container.

2

Livestock purchase

Animals bought at that week's market value — this stage can be backed by a bank guarantee for your security.

3

Slaughter & documentation

Export sanitary documentation issued, container booked.

4

Against shipping documents

Final balance against the Bill of Lading, before container release.

We handle everything, start to finish, because we are the cattle breeders and producers ourselves — not intermediaries. Nothing proceeds unless it's been paid and credited.
