Question:
What is Nomadic herding?
Answer:
Nomadic herding is practised in the semi-arid and arid (dry) regions of Sahara, Central Asia and some parts of India, like Rajasthan and Jammu and Kashmir.
In nomadic farming, herdsmen move from place to place with their animals for fodder and water, along a definite route. The nomads move from place to place due to the restraints of the climate and land.
Sheep, camel, yak and goats are most commonly reared by the nomads. These animals provide milk meat, wool, hides and other products to the herders and their families.
In the drier parts of Asia, especially Southwest Asia, most rural people make a living by raising livestock. Many are nomads who move with their herds of animals over large territories, constantly seeking good supplies of grass and water. The people live simply and carry their tents and belongings with them. They rear animals such as goats, sheep, camels, and yaks.
