The lack of herding animals on grasslands and even in some forest has soil degradating effects that most of us are fermilier with. I propose that people start herding associations where for example you own 19% of a herd therefore you are obliged to do or pay for 19% of the care of that herd. I invite enyone to join with me or others in these pastoral assosiations even if you are not able to spend time caring for livestock a given group could decide what a reasonable wage would be for the members who actually tend the animals. These associations would allow people who may otherwise not be able to own livestock to do so in a profitable way.
