In spite of collectivization, important features with respect to the organization of production in the pastoral economy varied little from the past :herding remained pastoral and nomadic, the basic unit of production continued to be the household units, and the division of labour within the household experienced only small modifications. Each household was generally involved in the production of single-species herds, for which activity a monthly salary was paid. Households were permitted to own a small number of animals that could be sold or used for their own consumption.

CONT

Prefectural-level pastoral policy emphasizes the fencing of grassland, penning of livestock and settlement of pastoralists, all measures which assist greater control and market exploitation of the pastoral economy.

The Criollo-a native of Argentina-is thought to be a relative of the Barb, Andalusian and Arab. Its ancestors were brought to South America by Spanish soldiers in the 16th century.... Nowadays the Criollo is a popular ranch horse. It is most valued for cross-breeding with Thoroughbreds, combining its hardy, athletic nature with the Thoroughbreds’ speed to produce some of the finest Polo ponies in the world.... Criollos are tough and intelligent. They are well known for their powers of endurance, and their quick, agile movement has made them popular with South American cowboys(gauchos) for herding cattle. They are also used for general and long distance riding and pack work.

OBS

The head is broad with wide set eyes and alert ears. The neck is muscular and the chest is wide. Its back is short and deep and the quarters are well developed.
