    A pesar de la importancia de la cabaña estante en la edad moderna su análisis ha quedado desplazado por la aportación de la trashumante a la Corona. Para abordar a su estructura y distribución a mediados del siglo XVIII el Catastro de Ensenada dispone de una documentación variada, que registró a las estructuras locales, a la apicultura y al esquilmo, el valor estimado de las cabañas menores, en todos los casos según su distribución seglar y eclesiástica. Sobre esa base el presente estudio se centra en la ganadería estante del Reino de Murcia, con aplicación de un método múltiple: analítico, para desentramar la estructura y distribución; comparativo, de los concejos con las cabañas más representativas y su aportación a la intendencia; e inferencial, desde coeficientes y ratios, que también permite el contraste jurisdiccional de cabezas, especies y cargas ganaderas. Las cabañas asnal y ovina eran las relevantes, Murcia el concejo ganadero mayor y Lorca el ganadero menor, y acaparaban el esquilmo.AbstractDespite the importance of sedentary livestock in the modern age, its analysis has been overshadowed by that of nomadic livestock’s contribution to the Crown. To address its structure and distribution in the mid-18th century, the Catastro de Ensenada land registry has a variety of documents recording local structures, beekeeping and farm produce, the estimated value of smaller livestock, in all cases according to their secular and ecclesiastic distribution. This study draws on this foundation to focus on sedentary livestock in the Kingdom of Murcia, using a multi-pronged approach: analytical, to unravel the structure and distribution; comparative, concerning the municipalities with the most representative livestock and its contribution to the regional government; and inferential, using coefficients and ratios, which also allows for a jurisdictional contrast of livestock numbers, species and density. Asinine and ovine livestock were the most relevant, Murcia being the largest livestock municipality and Lorca the smallest, and encompassed farm produce.
