This study was aimed to explore the management of smallholder cattle during the Covid-19 pandemic in Mlati District, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. Data was collected by interviewing and focus group discussions towards 70 farmers as respondents (members of the cattle community). Analysis of the data used descriptive analytic, to determine whether there was a change in rearing carried during the pandemic Covid-19 at the farmers. The results show that the Covid-19 pandemi had negative and positive impacts on farmers.
