As the cold days approach, when the days get shorter, in Hortobágy, following the traditions of old folk customs, both sheep and cattle prepare for winter, the animals are driven from the pastures of Hortobágy to their winter stables. Tradition claims that the animal "brought the snow home on its back", meaning that they could no longer find enough food in the pastures. This tradition is closely related to St. Catherine's and Michael's Day, when the cattle and St. Dömötör's Day, respectively, the sheep are handed over to the stables for wintering. Also related to this day is the tradition of "paying" the shepherds for their work. Dömötör's Day Feast - who was also the patron saint of shepherds - The "Dömötör" feast has always been considered a great traditional event among shepherds, for which they had prepared for a long time, in the csárda, or the so-called shepherd's house -they entertained for several days, holding a ball dedicated to the shepherds.
