Hello dear friend @lemouth, not necessarily there should be the livestock component within a farm, everything depends on the demand for milk and meat in the area, also influences the inclination or taste that the producer has to the livestock activity, the amount of land does not influence much, here in the area I am located, there are agricultural production units with low land extensions and have livestock and crops, of course they have less animals, because they must adjust the animal load to the amount of area they have sown with pasture and the yield that these pastures have.

Here in the southern part of the lake of maracaibo Venezuela there are farms that have high tracts of land planted with diversified lands with palm cultivation and livestock in the same area, where manure is used to fertilize soils and nepe which is a residue of the palm fruit after processing is used for food processing for cattle.

If we talk about profitability, at the moment one of the most profitable crops at the moment is the oil palm, some producers are also leaving livestock and changing to the palm. As I mentioned earlier it is sometimes a matter of tastes or simply of looking for better economic returns.

So long, have a great start to the week.
