RunningWithBulls.com - The curse of Sanfermin

For the first time, in their existence as a breed, the toros from “Los Victorinos” from Caceres will fight this year’s 2005 in the Feria De Sanfermin in Pamplona…in July. This should be a new experience for the corredores running with the bulls.

The bulls are bred by the Victorino Martín ranch of Caceres, known as one of the best ganaderías in Spain for a long time.

The ranch has been in existence since 1919, and has never made an appearance in Pamplona, apparently, because of financial disagreements between La Casa de Misericordia (the organisers of la corrida).

The Victorino Martín website only mentions the presence of the ranch at Pamplona in passing here

Also confirmed as being in attendance are los toros from the Seville breeder Fuente Ymbro

This breed has only been in existence since 1996. The line comes from the Jandilla bulls and cows. The bulls have proven to be “very responsive” in the bullring.
