Drovers
Drovers are individuals who guide and manage livestock, particularly cattle and sheep, from one location to another. This practice is often necessary for moving animals to grazing pastures, markets, or farms. Historically, drovers played a crucial role in the agricultural economy, especially in regions like the United Kingdom and Australia.
The work of a drover requires skills in animal handling, navigation, and sometimes even negotiation when dealing with landowners or buyers. Droving routes can vary in length, and drovers often travel on foot or horseback, using their knowledge of terrain and animal behavior to ensure the safe passage of the herd.
