Sámi to this day manage herds of reindeer. I'd characterize it as farming after a manner. The reindeer for all practical purposes wild, yet they are cared for and benefit the Sámi. I expect they know how little reindeer come to be. Off in eastern Siberia Tuvans were (until relatively recently) nomadic herders with at least one sub group being reindeer herders. It seems like a logical step from managing wild herds to domesticating wild animals and I'm curious as to why domestication happens in some places and not in others. Then again, if it's working, why mess with it. :-)
