Cattle are part of Uruguay\u2019s DNA. There are around 4 cows to every one of their tiny 3.5 million population of people and beef is their main export. But how do they compete against their mighty, better known neighbours; Argentina and Brazil? In this week\u2019s Assignment Jane Chambers travels to the country\u2019s lush, green pastures to find out about how they keep their cash cow flourishing. She hears from cattle farmers and other people in the beef industry about how they\u2019re carving out a niche for themselves and future proofing against the threats of climate change.
