Livestock
Domesticated animals that are kept by people to produce labor and commodities
Real World Example
Livestock refers to domesticated animals like cows, sheep, and chickens, which early farmers raised for food and labor. These animals were crucial because they provided meat, milk, wool, and helped in farming tasks like plowing fields. In ancient times, having livestock represented wealth and stability, as owning animals meant a reliable source of food and resources. Today, livestock continues to be important for food production, and the concept of raising animals responsibly reflects values of sustainability and food security. For example, a family farm raising chickens for eggs can show the importance of locally sourced food and caring for animals, values that remain important in modern society.
