[edit] Merger

I've removed Pastoralist, moved everything to here, cattle stations or sheep stations. The text below was on the Pastoralist talk page, so thought I'd move it across as well. Fishies Plaice 21:19, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I have removed the following added by User:138.236.152.199

Nomadic and or sedentary, the pastoralists centered around raising large animals, usually cattle, sheep, goats and horses. Pastoral nomadism is an agricultural system wherein pracictioners depend on the seasonal movements of livestock withing natural environments (often depends on water sources and pastures).

My reasons are:

• Sounds conversational, like it was intended to be on the talk page
• Past tense. Pastoralists still exist.

[edit] Traditional Cultures: Mongols

Perhaps I'm showing my ignorance here, but I believed Mongols, or certain tribes to be pastoral. Specifically, those who are nomadic, live on the steppes, and raise sheep and use the wool to create felted coverings for their yurt/ger dwellings. Perhaps Mongols are a sub-set or super-set for one or more of the cultures listed. If this is so, please excuse my ignorance. Christian M. Cepel --4.245.4.173 08:02, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
