nomadic herding

Nomadic herding is a traditional pastoral practice where herders move their livestock—such as sheep, goats, or cattle—across large areas of land according to seasonal patterns. This movement allows animals to access fresh pasture and water, helping sustain both the herd and the environment. Unlike fixed farming, nomadic herding relies on knowledge of natural cycles and landscape, often involving community cooperation. It is practiced in regions with limited arable land or harsh climates, providing a resilient livelihood that maintains cultural traditions while supporting local ecosystems.
