Abstract
In this paper we use Bourdieu's concept of habitus to examine human animal relationships
within capitalist agricultural systems. In the first part of the paper we examine how Bourdieu's ideas
have been used by academics to provide insights into the ways that livestock affect and are affected
by farming practice. In the second part we build on these conceptual, empirical, and policy insights by
examining some of the national and international social networks that contribute to human animal
relationships in capitalistic farming.We focus on a case study of Welsh livestock and, in particular, the
historic and contemporary roles that breed societies play in the imagination of farm animals and
the creation of capitals in agriculture.
