Shepherds have shown a spirit of solidarity that is reflected in the institution of the contribution of the lamb, known ''bildots-lorra ''(Zeanuri-Gorbea, communities around the Oiz Mastiff, Orozketa-Durango-B; Valcarlos-N).
It was the help that the shepherds would give to a neighbour who had said that he planned to work as a shepherd or if he needed to recover a flock that had been lost. The donation took the form of handing over a ewe and usually a young one. The new shepherd could thus form his own flock. In exchange, he invited the shepherds who had helped to a meal. Customs of this type, including donating manure in the farming world, could be found until the mid-20<sup>th</sup> 20th century.
