A FOLKLORIC ANALYSIS ON THE HUSBANDRY AND SHEPHERD CULTURE IN HACIAHMETLI VILLAGE OF MUT COUNTY

Turgay KABAK

Mersin city center and its counties having Mediterranean in the front and, the Taurus mountains behind have always attracted the attention of nomadic Turks and have been a home for them from the ancient times to today with its greenery and the climate suitable for life. As it is suitable for livestock raising, particularly goat, for having both the mood climate and the richness of vegetation as well as the geographical nature, the Yoruks who settled in the region have brought a rich culture developed around animal husbandry. In this study, traditional information about topics like folk veterinary medicine, transhumance, animal products, housing and feeding animals compiled from the last shepherds who maintain the tradition of animal husbandry in Hacıahmetli village, one of the villages left in the foothill of the Toros Mountains, in the Mut county of Mersin was analyzed with folkloric methods and tried to be explained.

Key words: Mersin, Mut, Husbandry, Shepherding.
