Transhumance is the movement of livestock and their keepers to new pastures based on the availability of grazing lands throughout the different seasons. This system of pastoral farming is a periodic form of movement and is different from nomadic herding, which involves constant movement. Livestock farming and ranching also involve raising animals, but they do not necessarily involve the same form of movement and seasonal adjustment as transhumance.
