Technological adaption for human survival (continued)
Livestock grazing tended to be undertaken separately from cropping and at first the animals shipped to the colony from great Britain, the Cape of Good Hope and India, were of very mixed breeds and types. Numbers steadily increased, however, and, from about 1810, sheep and cattle were sufficiently numerous to keep the colonies supplied with meat.[10]
