Abstract

Big sheep owners played a key role in nomadic sheeprearing in the Spanish region around Soria during the xvth. and xvith. centuries. By using the volume of wool sales, the author compares the size of their flocks with those of other middle and small owners in the region and analyzes the owners' sociopolitical profile, in order to qualify traditional hypotheses about the social basis of the «Mesta» and its evolution during the xvith. century. Lastly, some aspects of the management of sheeprearing enterprises are examined, and its factors identified. In particular, the analyses focuses on those aspects of sheeprearing that made big enterprises more profitable than small ones.
