Abstract

The management practices used by two brothers on their high performing summer-dry semi-finishing sheep and cattle farm were investigated over 2 1/2 years (2006- 2008). The study highlighted that in a dryland environment, the farmers designed their system to cope with both climatic variability and market risk. Keywords: management strategies, production risk, market risk, decision making, drought
