Pastoral farming (also known in some regions as
livestock farming or
grazing) is
farming aimed at producing
livestock, rather than growing
crops. Examples include
dairy farming, raising
beef cattle, and raising
sheep for
wool. In contrast,
arable farming concentrates on crops rather than livestock. Finally,
Mixed farming incorporates livestock and crops on a single farm. Some mixed farmers grow crops purely as
fodder for their livestock; some crop farmers grow fodder and sell it to pastoral farmers.
