Cattle show

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The cattle sale or cattle leasing ( French bail à cheptel , Italian soccida ), in German also cow leasing, is a form of leasing that is mainly applied to domestic cattle, and more rarely to horses. The “adjuster” is the owner and lessor, the “adjuster” is the lessee. The advertiser may use the cattle, such as milk, fertilizer and offspring, but must take care of the feeding and care and pay the lessor or seller an interest in money or part of the benefit (cheese, butter).

The cattle distribution is to be distinguished from the herd lease (also iron cattle contract or contractus socidae ), the cattle feeding (in Switzerland Alpage des vaches ) and the wage fattening.

history

In Switzerland, cattle pretending came about with the intensification of cattle farming in the 14th and 15th centuries. A relocation of rural industries to cities in the 14th century had been followed by a trend towards regrarianisation since the second half of the 15th century. Urban export industries lost their importance and were partly moved to the countryside, where at the same time the transition to large-scale livestock production, which was facilitated by urban capital, for example in the form of livestock production, freed workers. This process was accompanied by a population decline in the cities and an increase in the rural population. The cattle trade is now regulated in the Swiss Code of Obligations (Art. 302–304 OR ).

Originally it was probably derived from Jewish law . Documents prove that the cattle trade was already known in Babylonian law.
