Data collection was done through observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and triangulation and then the data were analyzed descriptively qualitatively. The results showed that dairy farming could coexist with the production of Dangke and its derivative products, the business of selling calves and cows and the processing of livestock waste in the form of biogas which is controlled by modes of production subsistence and commercial without mutually killing.
