  abstract = {{A} survey was conducted to identify factors affecting the proportion of sheep and camelids within family herds in the arid western cordillera of {B}olivia. {A} close relationship was detected between herd structure on the one hand, and the botanical characteristics of the dominant grazing area and total size of the farm on the other. {T}his is related to the ecophysiological characteristics of animals. {M}ixed herds of camelids and sheep allow better use of the ecological diversity of rangelands. {D}ue to differential fitness, the choice of species can also be linked with the overall number of animals which can be bred on the household's rangelands. {O}ther factors such as historical transformations of communities, economic opportunities and socio-cultural aspects also influence herd structure.
