breeding farm
Livestock reproduction facility
A breeding farm is an agricultural operation where animals are raised specifically for reproduction rather than for meat, milk, or labor.
The facility maintains breeding stock—animals selected for desirable genetic traits—to produce offspring for sale or to supply other farms.
Common examples include horse breeding farms, cattle breeding operations, and puppy mills.
The thoroughbred breeding farm produced three Kentucky Derby winners.
