resumo
In Northeast Portugal, small ruminant production is an extensive activity based on daily movements
of livestock around their villages. Driven by shepherds, goat and sheep flocks use several daily
itineraries. Some decisions about the circuit's organization are greatly influenced by the
environmental conditions because animals are very sensitive to extremes of temperature and
availability of resources.
