Climate may affect beef farming in many ways, if it is too hot or cold out the animal will use their energy to keep warm or cool instead of eating and for feed conversion. They need to be comfortable in order to remain healthy and to gain the necessary weight.

What are the economic activities of temperate regions?

Livestock farming and cereal farming are both practised by people living in the grassland areas. Livestock farming such as dairy farming and cattle ranching are possible because there are sufficient and suitable grasses for herbivores. The leaves and stems of grasses dacay after they die and produce rich humus. This helps to create excellent agricultural lands so that cereals like wheat can be grown. Dairy farming can be found in New Zealand's temperate grassland. It highly relies on technology and machines because New Zealand has a small population size. Also, fertilizers are very important to dairy farming for improving the soil fertility. Farmers usually divide their farms into paddocks in order to grow grass and fodder crops in different areas. The farms produce fresh milk, butter, cheese and milk powder, which are exported to other countries. Wheat-sheep farming is practised in the temperate grasslands of Australia because wheat and sheep can get benefits from each other: sheep feeds on the stalks of wheat and it provides manure for the wheat fields. However, farmers in the past had to face the problem of drought which was solved by the Snowy Mountains Scheme that diverts water from the Snowy River to the Murray-Darling Basin through tunnels later. Wheat farming is carried out in the temperate grasslands of South America because the warm temperate continental climate is suitable for growing wheat. Also, beef cattle rearing are practised there because the open grasslands provide good natural pastures for beef cattle.

What are the different types of farming?

There are basically two, with two variations. The major two types are dairy farming and raising beef cattle. Dairy cattle are primarily used to produce milk, while beef cattle are raised to be eaten. Dairy cattle and beef cattle are usually different breeds, although dairy cattle are sold to be eaten when they can no longer produce a copious amount of milk. The two variations are usually considered hobbies: raising dairy or beef cattle in order to show them at fairs, exhibitions, etc., and training steers to be used as beasts of burden (oxen). In most cases, even these animals will end up on a dinner plate.

Are cattle farming and dairy farming same?

Not really. Cattle farming is more of a general term encompassing both beef and dairy. Dairy farming is telling us something more specific, such as the fact that cows are being raised for the purpose of getting milk from them to be sold to retailers that distribute them to human families. Though dairy farming does involve raising and breeding cattle and can be termed "cattle farming," the proper term for raising dairy animals for the purpose of milk production is "dairy farming."
