Farm animals are animals that are domesticated for agricultural purposes. Raised for a variety of purposes serving human demands, farm animals are commonly used for commodities such as meat, leather, wool, and the production of milk, eggs, and other natural products. Keeping livestock has been a human activity across the world since humans transitioned to farming from hunter-gatherer lifestyles. Farm animals can be differentiated by dairy animals, poultry animals, and transportation animals.

What do farm animals eat?

Farm animals generally eat the hay and corn that is typically grown on the farm they live in. Farm animals also eat protein that is mainly made up of soy. Farm Animals may at times also be given animal feed which consists of two types – fodder and forage.

Can farm animals can be pastured together?

Farm animals that can be pastured together include chickens, goats, cattle, and pigs. Pasturing animals together is only possible when enough land and time are available and dedicated to the process. Although it is possible to pasture animals together most modern family systems are based on monoculture.

What does ‘free range’ mean for livestock?

The term ‘free range’ in livestock means that the livestock was given the space to range freely outdoors. The advantages of ‘free range’ for livestock include them having enough space for being outdoors and not being confined to indoor or tight spaces for prolonged periods of time.

Domestic Yak (Bos grunniens)
Dimensioned comparison drawing of the Domestic Yak compared to an average person

The Domestic Yak (Bos grunniens) is a domestic cattle found across the Indian subcontinents of the Himalayan region and Mongolia/Siberia. It descends from the wild Yak (Bos mutus). Yaks are referred to as cargo animals because of their built bodies, strong legs, and well-rounded hooves. Because the Yak is domesticated, they often do not have their thick hair falling below their belly. Although wild Yaks are usually dark, blackish to brown, domestic Yaks can vary with rusty brown and cream coats. Yaks can withstand -40 degrees F (-40 degrees C) by huddling up together and having their calves in the center.

Domestic Yaks have a shoulder height between 41.3”-54.3” (105-138 cm), body length from 84”-109” (214-276 cm), standing height of roughly 48”-62.6” (122-159 cm), and a body width of 26.8”-34.25” (68-87 cm). The horns of a Domestic Yak are between 11”-39” (28-99 cm). Weights of Domestic Yaks vary between males and females with males weighing between 772-1290 lb (350-585 kg) and females from 496-562 lb (225-255 kg). Domestic Yaks have a typical lifespan of 20-25 years in the wild and 25-28 years in captivity.

Groundhog | Woodchuck

The Groundhog or Woodchuck, scientifically known as Marmota monax, is one kind of the 14 species of giant ground squirrels identified as marmots. The Groundhog undergoes hibernation and will dig a winter burrow deep enough to ensure a temperature above freezing as well as maintain a maximum weight right before entering this state.

Also called the “whistle-pig,” the Groundhog utilizes a high-pitched whistle to alert its colony if it notices danger. Another way it remains watchful is by standing completely still on its hind feet. The Groundhog or Woodchuck is noted for being territorial and aggressive in nature, using its claws and incisors to dig or attack if needed.

Groundhogs have a height of 8.7”-11” (22-28 cm), body length between 16”-20” (41-51 cm), and an overall weight in the range of 5-13 lb (2.3-5.9 kg). The tail length of a Groundhog is 4”-6” (10-15 cm). Groundhogs have a typical lifespan of 3-6 years in the wild and up to 10-14 years in captivity.

Comparison illustration of the size of a Domestic Goat to a typical person

The Domestic Goat (Capra hircus) is the most widespread goat in existence today. It usually exists with humans and can survive everywhere except in the arctic or desert environment. It is thought to have come from Central Asia and is highly valued for its milk, meat, and fur. In almost all breeds, males are larger than females, grow horns and beards, and produce an odor. The hair of the domestic goat can be straight or wooly and black, brown, white, blended shades, or even spotted. The domestic goat has a short upward curved tail and is extremely social. It eats mainly grass and scrubs and communicates using the five senses.

Domestic Goats have a standing shoulder height between 16.1”-23.6” (41-60 cm), overall body length from 26.8”-39.4” (68-100 cm), standing height of roughly 20.1”-29.1” (51-74 cm), and a body width of 5.5”-8.3” (14-21 cm). The weight of a Domestic Goat is between 121-220 lb (55-100 kg). Domestic Goats have a typical lifespan of 12-18 years.

House Mouse

The House Mouse, scientifically known as Mus musculus, is noted for living in close approximation to humans. As such, the House Mouse is considered as a pet due to its domestication, as a model animal for study due to its population and proximity, and as one of the most abundant pest organisms due to its infestation of buildings.

The House Mouse is territorial, mostly nocturnal, and an omnivore, often willing to eat anything it can find. It is also known to be able swimmers, climbers, and jumpers with support from its tail for orientation.

House Mice have a height of 1.2”-2” (3-5 cm), body length between 2.5”-4” (6.3-10.2 cm), and an overall weight in the range of 1.4-1.6 oz (40-45 g). The tail length of a House Mouse is 2”-4” (5-10 cm). House Mice have a typical lifespan of 1-2 years in the wild and between 2-5 years when raised in captivity.
