We think that this type of activity, the cows give milk and meat, and thefields give the straw that the animals eat.

The economy in the Ambles Valley and the Vettons is similar, because they work in the agriculture and livestock butfor the Vettons it wasn't so easy as nowadays.They had to milk the cows without machine.

Vettons had cows free in the fields and now they keep in stables. Before, the cows feed themselves to graze in the country and now they feed them with fodder.

We have chosen the first photograph.
Nowadays when we milk a cow one transforms milk into several types of milk so that people drink the one that they like.
The vettons milked for their own consumption and they did not commercialize with milk.
milk, just as inVettons' time, is still got by hand by many livestock farmers.
Nowadays with milk yogurts can be obtained, cheese... Before they do not have some of these things with the milk.

we have chosen picture number two,before the cows ate inthe meadows of their owners.nowdays most the cows eat in the special farms and their products are for dealing.concerning the products for example butter, chease, yogurt...
before they weren´t because they couldn´t be made.nowdays there are a lot of products of this type.
