[edit] yaylag pastoralism
Please note that this article is about Australian droving, and hence the term "yaylag pastoralism" is not relevant. It may well be relevant elsewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ARBrennan (talk • contribs) 11:17, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Droving dogs
No mention whatever of dogs in this article. Seems somewhat unlikely that drovers did not use them in Australia... --Richard New Forest (talk) 14:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Move material?
At present I can find the following droving-related articles, which have a good deal of overlap:
- Droving. Stub article about droving generally.
- Drovers' road. Article about droves, mainly in UK.
- Cattle drive. Redirects (for some reason) to:
- Cattle drives in the United States.
- Drover. Disambig page leading to this page and two of the above.
There are also related articles, such as Cowboy, Gaucho, Herder, Herding, Herding dog, Transhumance etc.
It seems to me that a lot of material in the current Drover (Australian) article is actually about droving rather than drovers. Shouldn't that stuff really go in the Droving article? Drover (Australian) would then become an Australian equivalent to Cowboy and Gaucho. Any thoughts? Not too keen on the name either... What about Australian drover? --Richard New Forest (talk) 14:26, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
