Beef cattle reared in a pastoral farming manner

Pastoral farming (also known in some regions as livestock farming or grazing) is a form of agriculture aimed at producinglivestock, 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 farmingincorporates 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.

Pastoral farmers are also known as graziersand in some cases pastoralists. Pastoral farming is a non-nomadic form of pastoralismin which the livestock farmer has some form of ownership of the land used, giving the farmer more economic incentive to improve the land. Unlike other pastoral systems, pastoral farmers are sedentary and do not change locations in search for fresh resources. Rather, pastoral farmers adjust their pastures to fit the needs of their animals. Improvements include drainage (in wet regions), stock tanks (in dry regions),irrigation and sowing clover.

Pastoral farming is common in Argentina,Australia, Brazil, Great Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, and the Western United States andCanada, among other places.
