Explanation

Transhumance is the seasonal movement of livestock and herders between fixed summer and winter pastures. It typically involves moving animals from valley floors in winter to high mountain pastures in summer, then back again. This is distinct from nomadic migration (which is more permanent) or ranch movements.
