For centuries, Crimean Tatars developed unique livestock husbandry methods, the knowledge of which was passed down from generation to generation. A shepherd had to perfectly know water sources and use them skillfully, be able to recognize disease by the look of the grass, and be prepared to live in the mountains for many months. About what the daily life of Crimean shepherds was like, wrote local historians N. Golovkina, P. Pallas, and E. Markov.
