culture of coexisting with herded animals [word?]

[donb]

I remember encountering a single word while in school that described the culture of people who coexisted with their herde aniomals, such as the Lapp culture

 

[sdgraham]

Do you have a question?

 

[Lambency]

Could the word possibly have been 'pastoral'?

However, the example you gave (the Lapp culture) could better be described as 'nomadic pastoral'. They practice 'transhumance'.
