The men don't farm. That's most of the work. They butcher livestock, fish, but mostly "preserve their strength for nighttime visits".

That doesn't mean that in more traditionally organised society they'd farm. Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't. Maybe their traditional "men deal with animals, women deal with plants" would be kept.

That's most of the work.

The wikipedia sounds like livestock and fishing is also big part of their lives.
