Livestock

Livestock was closely connected with agriculture. It was mainly focused on meeting the peasants' own needs in dairy products, wool, leather, and manure. At the beginning of the twentieth century, it began to gain a commercial character. From the first decades of the twentieth century, annual livestock fairs were held in Perechyn.

Particular attention was paid to cattle breeding. Several breeds of cows were widespread in the Perechyn region: Carpathian Bura and Pinzgav. In the early twentieth century, each family had one or two cows. In addition, peasants bred oxen, which were used as traction forse. They plowed and harnessed them to carts to transport heavy loads. Poorer peasants who did not have their own land and could not keep a cow raised goats. A number of peasant families in Perechyn and its environs raised sheep. Each owner tried to keep at least two pigs so that they could be slaughtered twice a year (before Easter and Christmas). Poultry farming has developed significantly in the Perechyn region. Chickens, ducks and geese were bred here. Every owner who wanted to raise poultry had to have a chicken coop. Chicken coops were made of different materials. It was important that it was dry and strong. One of the oldest types of chicken coops were wicker or hazel twigs. They were placed on four tall wooden pegs. The chicken coops had a thatched roof. In the 1930s and 1940s, wooden chicken coops of various shapes became widespread
