Livestock purchasing is primarily utilized to meet the demand for animal products such as meat, dairy, and wool. Livestock purchasing highly depends on the context and goals of the consumer in a generation. Some methods can be used for word of mouth. As time goes by, the existing technology is developing, so the current method of livestock purchasing has become more accessible by utilizing existing media social content. However, as a past method, word of mouth still affected consumer purchase decisions, even among millennials. This study will comprehensively examine, explore, and validate this phenomenon by examining how word of mouth and social media content influence millennial and Gen Z consumers' livestock purchasing decisions.
