The average number of animáis is 13.5 dairy cattle assumed for the stratum of small producer, where 40.5% corresponds to the cows in production and dry. Natural mountaineering is one of the most widespread practices and the breeding of improved native cattle. The average production of milk liters / cow / day is 6.5.
