Differentiate between Nomadic Herding or pastoral nomadism and Commercial Livestock Rearing.

(i)Nomadic herding or pastoral nomadism is a primitive subsistence activity, in which the herders rely on animals for food, clothing, shelter, tools and transport.

(ii)They move from one place to another along with their livestock, depending on the amount and quality of pastures and water.
(iii)Each nomadic community occupies a well-identified territory as a matter of tradition.
(iv)A wide variety of animals is kept in different regions. 
(v)Pastoral nomadism is associated with three important regions.
Commercial Livestock Rearing
(i)Unlike nomadic herding, commercial livestock rearing is more organised and capital intensive.
(ii)Commercial livestock ranching is essentially associated with western cultures and is practised on permanent ranches.
(iii)These ranches cover large areas and are divided into a number of parcels, which are fenced to regulate the grazing. When the grass of one parcel is grazed, animals are moved to another parcel.
(iv)The number of animals in a pasture is kept according to the carrying capacity of the pasture.
(v)This is a specialised activity in which only one type of animal is reared
