CHINA-QINGHAI-GRASSLAND-SHEPHERD FAMILY (CN)

(230914) -- XINING, Sept. 14, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Yaks are seen in Duosong Village, Huangnan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, northwest China's Qinghai Province, Aug. 17, 2023. Shepherd Tashi Choepel, 41 years old, lives with his wife, son and daughter in Duosong Village in the center of the Hequ Grassland, which is located along the Yellow River bordering northwest China's Qinghai and Gansu provinces and southwest China's Sichuan Province. He raises over 300 cattle and 400 plus sheep in his pasturage. His wife Dougekyi and daughter Rinchen Dolma milk them after breakfast everyday. The milk can bring about 300 yuan (about 41.3 U.S. dollars) per day for the family when the production and market are fine. The family will move to their winter pasturage in October. When his wife milks, Tashi Choepel will graze on horse or on motorcycle. With stable public order, he has no need to worry about the stealing of his livestock. His major problem comes with the wolves as the ecological environment improves a lot.
