A local butcher proudly told me that he could handle twenty-two horses in one day, and at most, he could kill and skin fifty horses in a single day. However, I think he was bragging because this is an enormous workload. Generally speaking, being able to skin and hang up fifteen or sixteen horses in one day is already considered a good day.
Nonetheless, over the past six months, through my interactions with them, I had the opportunity to glimpse the character of the local residents. The Gauchos, or countryside people, typically have a much better character than those living in towns.
Although they sometimes make you feel uneasy, this is actually due to their helpful, courteous, and hospitable nature. I have never encountered any rude or indifferent behavior. They are gentle, respectful of themselves and their country, and full of vigor and courage.
