stockraising
Breeding farm animals
Stockraising is the business of breeding and raising livestock—cattle, sheep, horses, or other animals kept for commercial purposes.
The term appears mainly in agricultural and historical contexts: stockraising operations across the American West, a region suited to stockraising rather than farming.
Also written as two words: stock raising.
