After Italy, I journeyed all the way to South America. My first stop was at the Southern end of the continent, Patagonia, and I visited Argentina. Argentina is in Stage 4 of the Demographic Transition Model, meaning it is a more developed country. The point of my trip to Argentina was to learn about ranching. Ranching is a commercial form of agriculture in which farmers practice raising herds of animals on large areas of land. Ranchers commonly raise cattle and sheep. I visited a cattle farm in Argentina. When advertising cattle ranching, farmers want to include any strong aspects of their cows.

Advantages: grazing improves the habitat
Disadvantages: cattle require one-on-one physical maintenance, adequate storage for feed and tools is needed, cattle produce a lot of waste, cattle are prone to disease
