Acapulco indicators showed vulnerability in the production of lambs / ha, net / lamb utility, conservation and diversity of vegetation, technological innovation. San Francisco was vulnerable in technological innovation and participation in assemblies. It is concluded that both systems are not sustainable in all indicators.
