Trots>>There are no cattle to be found in Pamaltela of any kind.

>Pamaltelans cover their shields with, then?
The Arbennan use the skin of the three-horned rhinocerous, Hard Shield (ML p105).
>And what pulls the wagons of the Kresh, if not cattle?
Their hands.
"The Kresh do not use draft animals, preferring to pull the great wains themselves". Missing Lands p77.
Dave Pearton:
>Are they completely hunter-gatherers now?
Generally a mixture of hunter-gathering and horticulture prevails according to ML p105. Domesticated animals include "dogs, flightless chickens, a small short-legged pig, the Tanuku - a milk antelope(!!! - PHM) and several species of birds".
Horticulture generally prevails in the east where half of Kothar is practically sedentary although Hosfori (Where the Men always fart) is apparently so cursed because its men grow beans (ML p104 plus the Bloodbean reference in Gods of Glorantha p40).
