Steppe Pastoralism

Steppe pastoralism is a traditional way of life where people, mainly in Eurasian grasslands called steppes, raise and herd animals like horses, sheep, and cattle. Instead of farming crops, they move seasonally across open plains to find fresh grazing land for their animals, which helps sustain both their livestock and their communities. This nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyle has been practiced for thousands of years, shaping cultures and economies in Eurasia, and relies on knowledge of the land, weather patterns, and animal husbandry to thrive in often harsh environments.
