No. Farming is, by definition, an ambiguous term for the raising of livestock (which includes any animal from chickens to pigs, or cattle, bison, horses, etc.) and/or growing crops. Cattle ranchers are people that raise cattle on an extensive operation and make it a living and a business from doing so.
Animal farming is also referred to as livestock farming or animal husbandry.
Before knowing the advantages of extensive farming one has to know what it means. Extensive farming is using small inputs of fertilizer, labor and capital relative to the amount of land being farmed. 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.
