Past, present and future of pastoralism in Greece - Pastoralism

Pastoral farming has been a feature of the Greek scene since antiquity. The geomorphology of the area, climatic conditions and the prevailing systems of agricultural production in lowland regions at any given time have all been conducive to the development and preservation of this productive...

The terrain is too mountainous and overall rocky for all that much cattle. In fact, this caused a bit of a snafoo when asking some Greeks if they ate a lot of red meat because to Greeks red meat = beef. They don't count mutton and lamb as that for some reason so they severely underreported how much meat traditional Greeks actually consume; a lot.

Uno an scholar travelled for days just to take 1 hadith from a guy, he was watching the guy, and he pretended his bucket had water in it to get his donkey to come over to him.
The scholar turned around and left,
A man asked the scholar why he didnt learn the hadith from him, and the scholar said how can I trust a man to narrate me a hadith when he lies to his donkey
Idk why but this scenerio reminds me of that hadith, also reminds me of this
