The Bison tribe would ride bison, and that would be their primary herd animal, but their herds would include any other animals captured in the constant raiding of the Praxians. Since Bison riders need Bison to ride they would slaughter and eat other animals in preference to Bison, and perhaps even trade animals that were a nuisance to herd (impala) or otherwise a bit of a hinderance (herdmen). Bear in mind that Praxian animals prefer different pasture at different times so non tribe beasts are likely to get second class grazing. I don't think cattle survive well in Prax, only managing in fertile lands such as the Good Place.
Another thing I've begun to feel is that it is sometimes very hard to
visualize
some parts of Glorantha. Prax for example, if all those beasts are living
there
it ought to be pretty fertile, but it's described as being pretty barren.
I generally picture Prax as a cross between a wildlife program on the African
savannah (without any lions) and a Western movie, with Praxians as the
Indians, and the Lunar Army as the cavalry
Are there someone who can direct me to some more usefull resource than
"Postcards from Glorantha" on the Issaries site. It's pretty much useless if
you can't find the book Greg is refering too...

I have to break a digest rule and agree on this point. But, any dramatic
scenery can be used to represent somewhere in Glorantha.
