The structure of use agricultural land prevailing O1L2P3 uniformly pasturing trends using agricultural land with a greater share of meadows and participation arable land in 2003 which remained without changes in 2012. While in the structure of changes in livestock recommend 2004 direction with equal participation of breeding bovine animals and sheep farming 03 G3 which is in the year 2012 in the transformed in 03 G2 K1 direction with equal participation of sheep farming with higher participation herding bovine animals and participation of goat breeding.
