Livestock ranching earns the lowest profit per unit of land of any type of commercial farming. It tends to be found in relatively remote areas where other possible land uses are limited for example the Scottish highlands and the Australian interior sheep rearing the great plains of the USA and pampas of Argentina cattle ranching. This type of agriculture requires relatively little capital investment and the output par farm worker tends to be high. European immigrant were largely responsible for the development of live stock ranching in the semi arid grass land of temperate latitude using European breeds..
