Livestock Farm
Also known as: ranch, cattle ranch, grass-fed beef farm, pastured-pork farm, sheep farm, goat farm
A farm whose primary production is meat from grazing or foraging animals — cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, bison, water buffalo, occasionally elk or yak. Distinct from a dairy (milked, not slaughtered) and from a poultry farm (birds, generally housed differently). Directory livestock entries weight pasture-raised, rotationally-grazed, grass-finished operations — the farms working alongside ruminant biology rather than against it in confinement.
A livestock farm raises land animals for meat. [[directory|The directory]] deliberately uses the inclusive term over ranch — a 5-acre Vermont sheep farm and a 50,000-acre Wyoming cattle ranch are both livestock farms — and renders the regional terms as aliases.
What the directory tracks here
Beef cattle (Angus, Hereford, Highland, Devon, Longhorn, [[heritage-breeds|heritage breeds]]), sheep (meat and wool), goats (Boer, Kiko, Spanish meat goats, Cashmere fiber goats), pigs (Berkshire, Tamworth, Mangalitsa, Mulefoot, Gloucestershire Old Spots, [[heritage-breeds|heritage breeds]]), bison, water buffalo, yak, elk, deer (cervid operations).
Pasture-raised, [[grass-fed|grass-fed]], AWA-certified, Demeter-certified, dry-aged, on-farm-butchered, and direct-marketed operations are weighted especially highly. Confined-feedlot operations do not appear in [[directory|the directory]].
