Description:

In this text, we get to know a cow-herdsman who since childhood has lived and worked in traditional Galesh herdsmen’s cooperatives. This occupation is called Galesh. Today, however at the age of 65, he and his co-workers have been forced to leave their traditional lifestyle and the forest, which also means that the cooperative Galesh economy has been destroyed. Our consultant has continued his traditional economy, but only privately and very small-scale. He lives off the outcomes of his cows, the dairy products which he sells, and the occasional male calf that he slaughters for meat. This interview was recorded in the pasture of Jerkhun, close to the Ziarat village, while he was away from the village taking care of his cows. Here, Abbas Alaeddin talks about his life as a Galesh in the past, how he rented pastures and how he worked for the Galesh headmen. He also talks about the hierarchy among the Galesh.

Content: introduction of himself and the place of his pasture, how to make cheese, how dairy products were sold in the past and how life has changed now, pasture contracts, how cows were fed in the past and how things have changed now, the advantage of cows for the forest, how butter is made, traditional utensils, issues of identity and how the Galesh identify as Mazandaranis.
