The farmer types also differed in how farmers make farm
management decisions about herd size and breed composition, breeding aims and collaborative
activities with other farmers. In addition, the farmer types had a variable dependency on
subsidy payments suggesting that the changes in subsidy programme will lead to a
redistribution of farmers across the types. We conclude that typologies based on farmers'
cultural and economic capital, could be a useful tool to foresee farmers' decision-making
concerning the on-farm breed development
