Livestock farms for sale in Spain

What are livestock farms?

Cattle farms are land areas for the breeding, care, and exploitation of different livestock species (bovine, porcine, poultry, sheep, goats, or horses) with the goal of producing meat, milk, wool, leather, or other products.

These farms use one of the two existing production systems: intensive or extensive. In intensive systems, the goal is to maximize production in the smallest space and time possible, resulting in a higher population density. In contrast, in extensive systems, animals are raised in larger spaces, leading to a lower animal concentration per hectare.

What type of livestock can be raised on a farm for livestock?

In livestock farms, various types of livestock can be raised, including cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, horses, and poultry.

Bovine livestock: includes animals like cows, buffaloes, bison, and bulls. In Spain, it is mainly used for meat and milk production.

Pig livestock: refers to the breeding of pigs for meat, sausages (chorizos, sausages...), or bacon production.

Sheep livestock: includes the breeding and care of rams, ewes, and lambs. This livestock is used for meat, milk (both for cheese production and other dairy products), leather, and wool.

Goat livestock: goats are raised for milk production, which is primarily used for cheese-making, and for meat, although to a lesser extent.

Equine livestock: primarily includes horses, but also includes donkeys and mules. In Spain, this type of livestock is currently raised for recreational, sporting, labor, genetic, tourism, or productive purposes.

Poultry livestock: used for raising domestic birds such as chickens, ducks, turkeys, pigeons, quails, and pheasants for meat and egg production.

What benefits are gained by investing in land for livestock farming?

Investing in rural livestock farms provides numerous advantages. For example, the land tends to appreciate over time, as a result of the scarcity of available land.

It is also possible to generate income through the commercialization of products derived from animals, which are in high demand in both national and global markets.

All of the above has driven the emergence of new opportunities for buying and selling livestock farms in the market.

What attributes should be evaluated in livestock farms for sale?

When evaluating a livestock farm for sale, various attributes must be considered, such as location, climate, size, and infrastructure availability.
