Pastoralism

A way of life based on herding animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, camels, yaks or reindeer.

Also called: herding, pastoralist

Pastoralists live mainly from their herds, which give milk, meat, wool, hides and wealth. Herds are moved to find grass and water, so pastoralists are often mobile. It is a skilled way of using dry, cold or mountainous land where crops grow poorly.
