Kulning is primarily used to call back herds of cows or goats. But it’s also used to inform other shepherds or farmers in distant locations about the presence of wolves or bears. This vocal technique has been used by female shepherds in Sweden and Norway since the Middle Ages.

Kulning can also be used as a greeting to let people nearby know that they're not alone out there in the forests or fields. So kulning is a form of communication that resonates with both humans and animals.
