what is pastoral farming

This is a system of farming whereby grazing animals such as cattle, sheep and goats are kept.

The farmer who is known as the herdsman may manage his animals by moving them from one place to another, in search of fresh grazing area (nomadic herding) or by settling them in an organized place (ranch), where they are properly cared for and provided for.

During the movement period, the animals are often exposed to a lot of danger such as sustaining injuries, pests and disease attacks, etc.

Table 22.1 shows the alternative open to South Africa to substitute the production of cattle for vehicle on a monthly basis, assuming a given state of technology and a given total or quantity of resources. There exist extreme cases of A and F, where respectively, no vehicles is produced at all in other to produce a maximum of200 cattle, and no cattle were produced at all in order to produce a maximum of 180 motor vehicles. If more motor vehicles are to be produced, more resources for the production of cattle have to be given up or forgone. For example, in order to produce 130 motor vehicles rather that 70, that is, more from C to D in Table 22.1,

(100 – 80) = 20 heads of cattle have to be given up or transferred.
