Best Answer

Genesis 13:2-5 states "Abram was very rich in cattle...and Lot also, which went with Abram had flocks, and herds, and tents". So, it could have been both sheep and cattle. Lot was Abram's nephew. They had been traveling together since they had left Ur many years before. But now their "flocks" and "herds" had become so extensive, and their herdsmen so quarrelsome over pasture lands, that it seemed best to separate.
