Most of this type of farming is called "ranching." It is not a money-making or lucrative type of farming by any means (no type of farming is, no matter if it's extensive or intensive), but some advantages of this type of farming is being able to make use of native rangeland to raise livestock on. This type of ranching or "farming" denotes the use of cattle with little labour, no fertilizer and little capital to raise them. Other advantages include saving money because of the lower inputs required in comparison with intensive farming, and being able to spend time and energy on other things (and no need to hire additional labour) besides farming due to the lower labour requirements.
