With the death of Dr. Jenaro Pérez, Antioquia and the country lose one of their greatest businessmen. He magnified Colanta, bringing progress to many regions of Colombia. We will never forget this noble friend who also made politics great.

Jenaro Pérez was born in Entrerríos, north of Antioquia and has lived all his life among cows. Those who know him say he couldn’t go 15 minutes without mentioning this bovine.
She grew up on her father’s two farms with about 40 cattle, helping to milk cows before going to school. One of the farms received it as an inheritance after the death of her father and later she ended up buying the cattle from her mother and brother.
He studied at the National University of Colombia and graduated as a veterinarian and zootechnician.

He who does not do politics suffers it
In 1973, before joining the then Cooperativa Coolechera, which had suffered three bankruptcies in less than 10 years, Pérez had served as Secretary of Agriculture of Antioquia, director of the Center for Veterinary Diagnosis of the Colombian Zooprophylactic Institute, and professor of the University of Antioquia.
He also dabbled in politics. He was a councilor of Medellín, a deputy of the Departmental Assembly of Antioquia for several periods, and a councilor in about ten municipalities in the North of Antioquia. In addition, he was a representative to the Chamber until the Constituent Assembly of 1991.
“He who does not do politics suffers it,” he used to say.
