In the Bajo Deba supramunicipal district, Brown Swiss cows were raised in Elgoibar and they produced milk for the household's consumption and to sell. They were also used to plough the land. At that time, each farmstead had four or six of those animals, a pair of oxen, some calves, a donkey and mule. There were farmsteads with oxen that were used to plough the land. They were also used to pull wagons loaded with ore at a factory that has since disappeared. The situation has not changed significantly and even though many farmsteads still have a few cows, which are raised for both milk and meat, the number of animals has increased considerably.

In, Sara (L), all or some of the following species were raised and used on the farms: ''behiak eta idiak'', cows and oxen; ''zerriak'', pigs; ''ardiak'', ewes; ''zaldiak eta behorrak'', horses and mares; ''astoak'', asses; ''ahuntzak'', nanny goats; ''lapinak'', rabbits; ''oiloak'', hens; ''ahateak'', ducks and ''antzarrak'', geese.
