20. Mongolian pastoral herders make up one of the world’s last remaining nomadic cultures. For millennia they have lived on the steppes, grazing their livestock on the lush grasslands. Nomadic life is the way of life for about half of Mongolia’s population.

21. Because of the climate, lack of arable land and a short growing season, animal husbandry defines the nomadic culture. People raise five types of animals: goats, sheep, cattle (including yaks), camels and horses. These provide meat, dairy products, transportation and wool.

22. As one of the only remaining horse-based cultures left in the world, Mongolians cherish their horses. Outside the capital, the horse is still the main mode of transportation and children begin riding as soon as they can sit up.

25. The development of nomadic pastoralism was a true advance in the development of human societies. Sheep and goats were domesticated about 9000 years ago in this specialized form of agriculture in Central Asia.

26. Herds of animals were moved to areas where people were not farming because consistent water supplies and extreme weather conditions made growing crops difficult.

27. People became experts in raising their livestock and moved frequently based on the weather and the availability of food and water.

28. It is difficult to move many possessions so frequently, so the number and health of the animals became the measure of wealth for the family or community.
