following the herds can be seen as a type of settled existance - In a temperate climate the herds would have had a winter ground and a summer ground so essentially you had two camps that you moved between. These camps would have been on land with favourable conditions - good access to the local resources and may have been established over generations.
There may even have been intermediate camps such as at a place where the heard had to cross a river - an ideal hunting opportunity.
The only spanner in the works would have been if the climate changed and the migration routes changed.
This of practice of having two established campsites evolved with pastoralism with the herders taking their animals between summer and winter pastures and is still practiced in some parts of these islands - although the advent of the infernal combustion engine means that the shepherd can now commute between the high pastures and his farmhouse.
