Shepherd communities

Shepherd communities are groups of people who traditionally rear and tend to sheep, often living in rural or semi-rural areas. These communities focus on sheep farming for wool, meat, or both. Their lifestyles often revolve around livestock management, grazing, and seasonal migrations. Shepherd communities tend to have close ties to the land, preserving agricultural practices and cultural traditions linked to sheep herding. They may also serve as custodians of pastoral environments and play a vital role in maintaining rural economies and cultural heritage related to sheep farming.
