Are yurts really portable?

[WannabeShepherd]

Hello, my wife and are trying to get into the offgrid homesteading thing. The only places that we can afford land of ample size are way out west, and that land is really barren so in order to raise sheep and goats and properly graze them so that we can have milk, fiber and meat is to do the semi-nomadic thing. Yurts seem like a good option for us so that we won't have to start off every day and end every night by herding animals across acres of our property, which would be bad for the land (as they'd inevitably graze the already grazed land as we walked) and not so fun for us, and because it will take a very long time to build a home, and we won't be able to live on our land and start everything up (sheepfolds, solar and water stuff, planting etc.) until we have somewhere to live. We have also thought about doing the Bedouin tent which is definitely portable, but that seems unsafe as a coyote or an axe murderer could walk right into our "bedroom" whereas in an enclosed structure there is that layer of felt that will give us a moment.


But, are Yurts actually portable? I thought they were like a tipi made of felt, but it seems that they have wood frames etc. that seem impossible to collapse and put on back of a donkey or something. If they are, that would be awesome and maybe allow us to skip on the home building (or maybe only build a small winter shelter for the coldest nights) and live a more transhumant lifestyle.

Also, any legal things we should know in ID, WY, AZ and/or NV? I was under the impression that because yurts are temporary structures we won't have any zoning issues since it's essentially just camping.
