Au printemps, lorsque le troupeau doit quitter les plaines cultivées et les vignes qui commencent à bourgeonner, comme il n’est pas envisageable de reprendre la route vers les montagnes avec des agneaux si jeunes, la pratique s’établit donc d’abattre ces agneaux et de les vendre sur place.
In spring, when the flock had to leave the farmland and the vines, which were beginning to bud, and it was not possible to continue the journey to the mountains with lambs that were so young, it became common practice to slaughter these lambs and sell them on the spot.
