Gontha herding was essential to the early sky tribes of the Jaggudorns and involved the use of early skycraft and seasonal transhumance.

The gontha have spent the winter grazing on Tosplint leaves on the woods around the Shadew River. In late spring, the gontha shorn of their wool. The wool from yearlings is woven by the women into sails to make skysails. The men use the wood of the Cembar Tree to create the frames of the skycraft. Then the gontha are herded by skycraft from the Shadew River to the high Valleys on the eastern slopes of the Jaggudorns where the pastures are green now that winter has passed. Here they graze until late summer, then they are herded back to the Shadew River where they feed on Tosplint Trees through the winter.
