Guadalmena, Fighting bull breeding farm in Santisteban del Puerto, Spain
Guadalmena is a bull breeding farm in Santisteban del Puerto where cattle are raised across two estates, Cañadillas Altas and Cerro Rivera. The herds graze in natural settings and receive specialized care throughout their development.
The farm was established in 1996 by Antonio Sainero, who acquired cattle from renowned breeding lines such as Núñez del Cuvillo and Marqués de Domecq. This foundation continues to define the genetics of the herd today.
The bulls from this farm display specific physical traits, including fine skin, notable horns, and colors ranging from black to chestnut brown. These characteristics come from careful selection based on lineage and behavior.
The farm maintains strict standards in animal selection, evaluating physical attributes and behavior for bullfighting purposes. It is a working private facility with limited visitor access to the grounds.
The farm made its first complete presentation at Las Ventas bullring in Madrid in 2003, where its young bulls received recognition from professional critics. This debut marked the beginning of its standing in the professional bullfighting world.
