Question

Name a major area of ‘commercial livestock rearing’ in United States of America.

Hint:

Ranching in the USA is a major contributor to the global beef and wool markets.
This area is geographically known as the Prairies.

Answer 1

Concept:
• Commercial livestock rearing is a capital-intensive, organized activity where animals are raised on large ranches.
• It is typical of temperate grasslands in the "New World" countries like the USA, Canada, and Argentina.

Step 1: Identify the landform and continent
Point F is located in the interior western section of North America, within the United States. This region lies between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains.

Step 2: Identify the specific livestock zone
The area corresponds to the Western USA (or Great Plains/Ranches). In these semi-arid plains, cattle, sheep, and goats are reared on massive permanent ranches for their meat, wool, and skins.

Step 3: Describe the commercial nature
Unlike nomadic herding, this activity is highly scientific. Animals are kept in fenced areas, and there is a high degree of mechanization in processing the animal products for the international market.
