Details	To investigate the knowledge of pastoral animal husbandry, researches were carried out in northern Mongolia. Results: 1) the winter camp of the herders are located at the thermal belt of the slope above the cold lake of the basin during winter. It was also shown how the meteorological condition of the location of winter camp is favorable for livestock from the view of the body temperature environment. 2) By comparing the body weight of sheep and goat in mobile and sedentary herd, it was shown that the weight increase is larger in mobile herd. 3) Anthropological research showed that research region, which was located at suburban area of a city, was densely populated by herders who tended to maximize their cash income by utilizing their living location at suburban area, as one of the typical herding strategies in today's Mongolia.
