Explanation

Transhumance is the seasonal movement of livestock (especially sheep, goats, and cattle) between summer and winter pastures, typically following established routes. Pastoral farming is general livestock raising, nomadic herding involves constant movement without fixed settlements, and shifting cultivation is agricultural - none specifically describe seasonal migration for pasture.
