Stockbreeding was one of the most important activities of the economy in Podgorica until the 1970s.

Podgora shepherds would spend ten months a year with their cattle on the rare Biokovo pastures, because livestock was important for survival, providing wool for clothes, and milk, butter and cheese for food. Today, in the area of Podglogovik on Biokovo, you can still see the objects of traditional architecture from that period when the shepherd population had their temporary habitats used during the grazing seasons. Along the stone houses, there are also terraces that descend towards the sea and border the olive, wine, lemon, orange, tangerine, almond, walnut, fig and carob groves.
