There is evidence for continuous sheep husbandry in the Western Balkans over the last several millennia. The seasonal migration from upland in Summer to lowland in Winter has probably always been part of that system.
@@richardcarlton3228 yeah, they walk thru half of Bosnia just to feed the sheeps in the cold Winter. They are looking for grass for baby sheeps. In the history sheepherds walk to Serbia, Croatia, some sheepherds were going to Hungarian. In Travnik sheepherds in Sumer get in the Mountain Vlašić with their sheeps, they are making probably the best cheese in the world there, that's because Vlašić have lot od endemic grass that you can find only on Vlašić. I live in Travnik too, my family is the Group of traditional sheepherds like this, this man lives not far away from me🙂 Im sorry if I'm bad in English
Thank you. Your English is better than my Bosnian. I was in Travnik a long time ago when I filmed pottery-making at Pulac near Turbe - ruclips.net/video/uZk1nyC_arE/видео.html ruclips.net/video/C9UzeO5bIR0/видео.html I admire and respect traditions such as shepherding in Bosnia, and I believe we should be learning from them. My wife’s family was also involved in this kind of work 100 years ago around Bileca in Hercegovina. I would be interested to know how far these shepherds travel these days and if it it getting harder with permissions, etc. Maybe I could visit you when I come to Bosnia again(?) Thanks Richard
@@richardcarlton3228 , I understand. I thought you were from Bosnia and that's why I asked. I am Romanian and our traditions, ancient customs, breeds of sheep and shepherd dogs are very similar.
I am not from Bosnia but my wife is and I have spent a lot of time there. I also speak Bosnian. You’re right that Bosnia and Romania share many traditions (I was in Iasi, Sueceava, Brasov and Oltania) - which should be protected, or at least recorded
