Reinado Internacional de la Ganadería (in english: International Livestock Queen) is a women's beauty pageant held annually since 2008, as part of the Livestock Fair of Córdoba — one of the largest in Latin America. [1] Contestants face practical tests such as bovine insemination and cow milking, in addition to parading in traditional and evening attire. Beauty accounts for 30% of the final score, while agricultural knowledge also represents 30%, followed by general culture (20%), charisma (10%), and commitment (10%). In Montería, the contest finale is marked by parades and festivities that draw large crowds, along with live television coverage. Brazil leads in titles, having won five times. The current winner, a 24-year-old Brazilian agronomy student named Thaís Vitória Zanatta, holds the crown. [2]
