A01	00:00:00 00:08:15	jobs:, jobs:	Introduction.He has been a shepherd for fifty-six years at the cabin. At the beginning there were more of them and each one had his particular post. "Artzain nagusia" (the principal shepherd), who made the cheese, "artzain mutila" (the shepherd), "neskatua" (the master of the house), who was a cook, "antsozaina"(?).They would be up in the mountains for seventeen days at a time and they rotated the jobs depending on that."Lukenak".(07:45") They brought the cheese down on the mules. They would make cheese until Magdalene.
A02	00:08:15 00:16:00	animal husbandry:, carnival:, jobs:	The shepherds went out together twice a year; at "Igande Zuria" and at Magdalene.In autumn the sheep were brought down and the pigs were taken out. They had a pig-sty for the pigs.
A03	00:16:00 00:26:15	cowbell, jobs:	The changed the roads and this brought about a big change: the arrival of cars. The huts were left empty. Now no more cheese is made. He does not see any future for the huts.(23:38") The bells are very important when it comes to bringing up or bringing down the sheep from the pass. Now they don’t bring them down walking as they used to. Now the automobiles are used for everything.

In the huts there would be two or three shepherds from the beginning. Each one had his task, the chores for each one. The tasks would be rotated.Wood was collected every day. How they kept things clean.(46:00") Goodbye.
