The Yaiza City Council extends an invitation to the people of Lanzarote to visit this weekend, from Friday, April 25 to Sunday, April 27, the San Isidro Labrador Island Livestock Fair in Uga, sixteen years showing the evolution of the primary sector thanks to the commitment of livestock farmers who exhibit the best specimens of goat, sheep, camel, and pig breeds of the Island at the Uga fairgrounds.
As in each edition, the Fair, which hosts another meeting of livestock farmers from Lanzarote and Fuerteventura on Sunday, is accompanied by an extensive program of activities so that Lanzarote families can enjoy a pleasant time and rewarding learning experiences during their visit. The detailed program with days and times is published on the City Council website.
Cheese tasting courses for children and adults, folklore, workshops, a traditional milking demonstration, cheese making, and traditional Canarian games are part of the proposal organized by the City Council, presided over by Óscar Noda, with the support of the Lanzarote Council. "Uga offers us the opportunity to closely experience the evolution of the Island's primary sector and to thank the efforts of so many generations of families who have contributed decisively to the development of our economy," says the Mayor of Yaiza.
The opening ceremony of the Fair will be at 5:00 PM on Friday, April 25 at the Camel Interpretation Center, located in front of the fairgrounds, to give way to the streaming colloquium Young Livestock Farmers: Technological Innovation in Modern Livestock Farming. The Councilor for the Primary Sector, Silvia Santana, reports that "we have invited workers from the primary sector, some very young, to this talk to illustrate the impact of technology on the productivity of livestock farms and animal welfare." Lanzarote focuses its attention on the Uga livestock meeting.
