Dairy cattle require more higher nutritive feeds than beef cattle do, and so need to be raised in an area where these higher nutritive feeds can be raised and fed to them. Dairy farms are located on or near the "corn belt" or an area of land on the North American continent where crops can grow and have high quantity and quality yields. Pastures in this area where some dairy farms allow their cows and heifers to graze during the summer months (or those months where grass grows the lushest) also need to have this high quantity and quality of grasses. The area also needs to be level and flat enough that barns and silos can be built and that are easily accessible to farm equipment used on the dairy farm.
Beef cattle, on the other hand, are raised in areas where they are on pasture all the time and do not require much human input. Beef cattle can be raised in areas where dairy cattle are raised, or in much more rougher terrain like down in the desert of southern California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and West Texas. Beef cows have a much lower nutritive requirement to thrive and feed a calf than dairy cows do, and so are much more flexible where they can be raised.

cattle production
Cattle are raised on grass to grow for meat. Most ranching occurs near mountains and areas of the prairie that are not suitable for growing crops. When the cattle reach an adequate size, they are sold to for slaughter.
Cattle ranching is big business in Brazil because beef is a very popular food. Brazil and Argentina have large pasture areas that are very good for raising beef cattle.

Cattle ranching is important to Arizona's economy because many places in Arizona are not fit for farming. Arizona is a desert state in the southwestern United States. In most areas there are probably more cattle than people.
An example of extensive agriculture is cattle ranching, where livestock are raised over large areas of land with minimal inputs such as labor or fertilizers. This type of agriculture typically involves low stocking densities and relies on natural resources like grasslands for animal grazing.
