As Productos Carnícos la Misión represents several different business entities, there is often a variety of things happening as the community of Magdalena, Mexico is served in the mission. There are many opportunities to seek out interactions and extend a helping hand with the ranching community, church community, and families in our town. As we build community, interact with our employees and develop relationships, there is so much to learn about the culture and technical practices that keep the mission healthy and moving forward. As a result of these experiences, relationships are made and the love of Christ shared.
Hosting Church Services
As Covid regulations ease up, churches in Sonora are again able to have services. Carnísimo Burgers offered to host our local church services in the patio area in order to provide a space safer in the open air as well as easier access for those who live in Magdalena.
Carnísimo Burgers is closed on Sundays, opening up the use of the patio for church services.
Rancho Agua Viva: Spaying heifers
Earlier in September Rancho Agua Viva helped with the sterilization process on some heifers that will be crossed into the United States this coming November. Joel and Fernando worked with the veterinarian and the owner of the cattle to spay 100 head of heifers that are backgrounded at the ranch.
