Shepherding Profession on the Brink of Extinction!

One of the most profitable professions in recent years, shepherding, is now facing the threat of extinction. Despite offers of 60,000 TL salary, finding a shepherd has become nearly impossible.
In Erzincan, villagers have created a queue system to graze their animals due to the inability to find shepherds. Shınasi Ceylan states, "Those whose turn comes go out to graze. We lined up as villagers because we couldn't find a shepherd,"

Asım Genç adds, "We haven't been able to find a shepherd since 2010. They used to beg for shepherding jobs, but now no one wants to do it," summarizing the situation.
Villagers are taking turns to graze their animals. This situation presents a thought-provoking picture about the future of the shepherding profession.
