Explanation: Unlike nomadic herding, commercial livestock rearing is more organised and capital intensive.

• Commercial livestock ranching is essentially associated with western cultures and is practised on permanent ranches.
• These ranches cover large areas and are divided into a number of parcels, which are fenced to regulate the grazing.
• When the grass of one parcel is grazed, animals are moved to another parcel. The number of animals in a pasture is kept according to the carrying capacity of the pasture.
• This is a specialized activity in which only one type of animal is reared. Important animals include sheep, cattle, goats and horses.
• Products such as meat, wool, hides and skin are processed and packed scientifically and exported to different world markets.
