Pastoralism is a form of farming, such as
agriculture and
horticulture. It is
animal husbandry: the care, tending and use of
animals such as
camels,
goats,
cattle,
yaks,
llamas and
sheep. It also contains a mobile element, moving the herds in search of fresh
pasture and
water.Pastoralism is found in many variations throughout the world. Composition of herds, management practices, social organization and all other aspects of pastoralism vary between areas and between social groups. Many ‘traditional’ practices have also had to adapt to changing, modern circumstances. Also the
ranches of the
United States and the
sheep stations and
cattle stations of
Australia are seen by some as modern variations.
