520 _aThis inventory enumerates the summer cattle owned by a hundred or so families from the parish of Château-Queyras, Hautes-Alpes. It was drawn up in order to collect a communal tax, and annexed to the register of the syndics of the community. Most frequently, a family’s holdings would include one or two cows, a pig, a donkey or a mule, and a few goats. Sheep, more numerous, provided marketable goods such as wool, cheese, or lamb. While the cattle for use in the household was similar from one family to the next, such was not the case for commercially oriented flocks. The inventory brings to light a group of well-off cattle-raisers, itself dominated by a few owners of large flocks. We can also gather indications on the practices of moutain cattle-raising, such as summer transhumance, outside boarding, or fattening the young.
