I think an even better word for owners would be ranchers.

French term (edited):
propriétaires non éleveurs
owners who are not livestock breeders
"éleveurs" breed and raise animals (and fatten them up) . Here the land is pastoral and the animals are bovines or cattle so you could also say cattle/beef farmer.
the more general "farmers/ranchers" may also grow crops as well as breed/raise animals

owners of non-livestock smallholdings
I understand this to mean that the 21.4% includes smallholders who have a cow or two for their own domestic use, not for commercial purposes.
