The scale of cattle-keeping is determined by the size of the farm, by its natural endowment with regard to climate and soil conditions, and thereby by the need for manuring, as well as, in varying degrees, by the intensity of management. Decisive here is the farm's own fodder base, which comprises the available grasslands — meadows and pastures — together with field fodder cultivation. The extent of the latter follows from the configuration of the crop rotation in arable farming.
