Which farm is Jauregiberrizaharre?

Our finca is in Zalgize. We have 35 hectares of pendulum but fully intertwined: Zalgize, Iruri and Barkoxe. We have 350 heads of black sheep, 8 of Basque pig and 5 of pottoka. At home, we make gas to all the milk. We called and gasped on the balcony, until the end of July. We work on the farm with our mother. In the Boru you can shoot in Bostmendieta (Larraine), in the olhalti (in the caseta) you can only put the marros in the tarima (in August).

When you install, you wanted to explore new roads...

The first thing I wanted to do was to call back on the side. When I was young, I was with my mother, but never again. We hadn't called in the Borg for almost 20 years. When I settled down, I started again and my parents helped the rabbit, because they have all the herbs at home in the early years. I had time to be in the sky and learn how to do the job as a shepherd and cheese. In my courses, I've been on organic farms. And I was willing to do the same at home. The land for grain production is 3.5 ha. In our system, we didn't have enough land to rotate. As a result, the time for the creation of lambs is late: sheep in spring to middle, if we graze less and provide less cereal. We've also transformed the sheep race: from the red head manex to the black head. Black heads take better advantage of the field and stay further away mendian.Udazkenean, do not rush, hold the sheep until the middle of October (before we fell on 15-20 September). As they went up with a lot of sheep (to call them in boru), we gained almost another month in the spring. This year we have started the conversion on the ecological.

Your worries about the bear started early in the summer, participating in some conferences...

Of course, before concerns were thrown into the violence of the barbarians, because we do not know how the summer will pass. For five months we will be there, we are sure to be afraid that the bear will come to attack our sheep. No attack has taken place in the Campos de Zuberoa (the attack on Hautes-Pyrénéesta has taken place after this action). If we look at the experience of the pastors of Ariege (Eastern Pyrenees), we do not want to let it be installed, as we know how things are going around and if they are very concerned. Even though we have paid for the dead sheep, we do not want to live with that fear in the countryside. We cannot afford to pay the sheep to graze the bear.

Some say the two bears won't send the pastor...

This year there are already pastors who have not come to the fort so as not to take risks. The assault continued unalterable. In Zuberoa, like us, some have the need for truly bordu to make their farm live. But eels have lots of land next to the farm and they go forcefully because it's family history, it's tradition and it's a pleasure. If you go with a few sheep and start hardening on the horizon, you'll soon do it without moving. Soon you can have less sheep in the field and I see it as a laughter for the shepherd.

On the future, do you see in me the deep-seated concerns and hopes in the agricultural sector?

It is a concern to see at Ariege how pastors suffer and how the state does nothing to help them, it is a shame. In those valleys there is blood and they are not prepared in a way abandonatzeko.Ikusiz how the state is striving, it is noticeable that violence, tension, is rising and we do not know how it will end. I have hope for the support of people who are not labourers. The general population is very unhappy with the farmers. So far people, who love our productions, have defended us for many things, both when Laborantxa Ganbara has been assembled, and when he has been the cris of the ducks... If people are tied to the five here, if they don't want to see what they want dirty, if they want people's lives, they have to sustain us. Nothing will move without mobilization.
