Sardinian cow

Gian Mario Vedele is a guardian breeder residing in Orgosolo who dedicates himself with great responsibility to the safeguarding of the Sardinian cow, one of the most rooted native bovine breeds in the pastoral history of the island. Registration as a guardian breeder testifies to his daily commitment to the management of animals raised according to traditional criteria, respectful of their welfare and the balance of the rural environment. For Gian Mario, breeding is not just a productive activity, but a way of keeping alive a centuries-old culture made of relationships between man, animal, and landscape. With his dedication, he contributes to protecting a unique genetic heritage, supporting the survival of a breed that represents the livestock identity of the Sardinian hinterland and the deep bond between the community and local pastoral practices.
