!!!Senner

Senner (Sennerin - feminine form), designation derived from an Alpine 
word of pre-Roman origin (sanio = shepherd) for persons 
responsible for alpine pasture husbandry (particularly cattle) on  
Alms and for processing and delivering milk. In the past, the Senners 
were accorded a different status from people who lived in the valleys 
because they were said to possess intricate knowledge of natural 
forces (e.g. medicinal herbs, weather rules). Meanwhile, modern 
technologies have become established in  Alpine Pasture Husbandry. The 
Senner and Sennerin also sell products to hikers and climbers in the 
mountains, etc.
