Abstract

Herding system in countries like Iran with ancient herding celebrity is very important. The system should be recorded for the next generation to remind them of what their ancestors have had. This research was conducted by new techniques such as GPSto track the system at Hosesoltan range adjacent to Hosesoltan Lake for three years, 2006 to 2008. A GPS was installed on the back of a three years ewe and her movement such as departure from resting area to rangelands and its reverse, course time of grazing, rest and moving without grazing were recorded. Maximum and minimum speed of the animal also was measured. This survey suggests that the system is smart enough in terms of limitations and available sources.
