To the east and north of the stone tablet are three large prayer flag towers of varying sizes. The largest prayer flag tower, Liu Mo'ang, has to be at least 60 meters in diameter!

The three prayer flags are hung with colorful wind and horse flags. Under the blowing of the mountain wind, these wind and horse flags make a cheerful "slope" sound.

And around the stone tablet, there are piles of Mani of different sizes.

These mani piles piled up with stones, like those prayer flags and wind and horse flags, all convey the prayer and blessings of the Tibetan compatriots.

Standing here and around his eyes, Liu Mo'ang felt a true magnificence and grandeur.

Ten kilometers behind and opposite are the snow-capped mountains of Nianqing Tanggula Mountain. There are no edges and gentle pastures to the east and west.

Countless yaks were eating grass leisurely in the pasture, and occasionally one or two unique and low crys of Tibetan mastiffs sounded.

Although this place is not as vast as the Inner Mongolia grassland, nor the charm of "the sky is vast and the wilderness is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep", but standing here, Lao Liu can vaguely feel a state called "harmony between man and nature"...

Well, that's Lao Liu's self-inflation...

Don’t think that if you stand high, you can really touch the sky, and you can really stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun!

Wake up...

So Old Liu shook his head and began to walk back.

However, Lao Liu did not return along the original road of the national highway. He first walked a distance north and actually entered the grassland before walking back.

There are not many yaks in this pasture, and the number of goats and sheep they raise does not seem to be large. Occasionally, you can see a few Tibetan horses.

Compared with the grassland in the distance, the number of yaks and sheep raised in this grassland is much smaller.

But Lao Liu knew why, because this fenced pasture is the pasture of the second uncle's house.

When the second uncle returned to his hometown before he got sick, he often talked about the plateau, including his pasture.

The main source of economic and food for the herdsmen in northern Tibet were yaks and sheep. When the second uncle settled in the Russian Bacuo team in Duiling, the government distributed a pasture for him to raise cattle and sheep.

More than 20 years ago, the herdsmen here could be divided into about 4,000 acres of natural pastures. The second uncle was a family of two at that time, and the total number was more than 8,000 acres of pastures.

Of course, the grassland management at that time was not as strict as it is now. At that time, there were few grasslands surrounded by fences. Unlike now, almost every grassland would be surrounded by simple fences to form a fenced pasture.

According to the second uncle, at that time, the couple raised a total of forty-six yaks and more than fifty sheep, and six horses.

This quantity is considered to be average.

Everyone who grazers knows a word called "the amount of livestock carried in the grassland".

The amount of livestock carried by grasslands is an important indicator to measure grassland production capacity, and refers to the number of livestock that can be grazed per unit area of ​​grasslands during the grazing period.

This indicator is usually expressed by the average number of livestock grazing per hectare of grassland. Most countries in the world use cattle as units, but in New Zealand and my country in the South Pacific, sheep are used as units.

In the northern Tibetan pastoral area, a sheep or a goat is equal to one sheep unit, a yak is equal to five sheep units, and a horse is equal to six sheep units.

The northern Tibetan pastoral area is an alpine pasture with very harsh natural conditions, so the amount of livestock carried naturally cannot be compared with the Mongolian grasslands.

Old Liu didn't know about other places, but when his second uncle first said that in Dangquka County, feeding a yak requires about 130 acres of natural pasture, and feeding a sheep requires about 26 acres of natural pasture.

At that time, the yaks and sheep raised by the second uncle, plus the number of horses, were equivalent to 316 sheep units, and the more than 8,000 acres of pasture in his family could be raised.

Originally, the couple had imagined having two more children in the future and then raising more cattle and sheep when the child grew up. However, they didn't expect that the second aunt died of dysfunction and bleeding.

The death of the second aunt was quite a big blow to the second aunt, so that the second aunt was no longer interested in raising cattle and sheep, and could only relieve the pain in his heart by wandering for half a year.

However, although the second uncle was unwilling to raise cattle and sheep, the second uncle still had some relatives. For example, the second uncle's father-in-law and mother-in-law, brother-in-law and others. The second uncle's relatives helped the second uncle raise these livestock when the second uncle was out.

However, each family has a large number of livestock, and there are at least two transitions a year when grazing here. It’s okay to say that the time is short, but after a long time, the relatives don’t have much energy to help the second uncle take care of the livestock, so the second uncle’s livestock has been much smaller.

Three or four years ago, the second uncle was tired of wandering outside, so he returned to Obacuo. In order to fulfill his wish to open a hotel, he dealt with some livestock to raise money. Until now, the number of livestock belonging to the second uncle is only a mere twelve yaks, more than twenty sheep and three horses.

This is the livestock on this pasture that Liu Mo'ang saw now.

Looking at the pasture with pitiful few livestock in front of him, and thinking about the second old man who had passed away, Old Liu couldn't help but sigh for a moment.

This place is an alpine area. Even if the grass in the grasslands are green in summer, it cannot be compared with the grasslands in the Mongolian grasslands in any case.

Most of the forage grass here is mainly alpine wormwood and fermented grass. The height is pitiful. Even in summer, the height of the forage grass will not exceed 20 centimeters. This is naturally far from comparable to the forage grass on grasslands in low-altitude areas that can often cover people. But this kind of forage grass is the main food for yaks and sheep.

Lao Liu was walking along the way and was about to turn back to the hotel. The two yaks that were eating grass more than 20 meters away in the left and walked to Lao Liu about seven or eight meters away.

These two yaks are one big and one small, and it is obvious that they are two mothers and sons.

The little yak saw that it was a calf who had just been born less than two months old. He stared at Lao Liu with two big black eyes, as if he was wondering whether the two-legged monster in front of him could eat or whether it was delicious...

The female yak looked up at Lao Liu for a while, and then didn't know what the cow was thinking. She ignored Lao Liu, but lowered her head and continued to chew on the grass on the ground.

This is the best time to eat. If you don’t feed your stomach at this time, it will be difficult to bear when winter comes.

Lao Liu stood there and looked at the yak mother and son, with a smile on his face.

Isn’t this scene of mother and son complementing each other a microcosm of nature?

The little calf seemed to feel that the two-legged monster in front of him was not in danger, and the aura faintly revealed from the two-legged monster made the little calf feel very close. So after humming at the female yak twice, the little calf slowly ran over with his short legs, stopped in front of Lao Liu, raised his head and hummed twice.

Lao Liu liked it very much. Although he didn't know why this little calf showed closeness to him, Lao Liu still stretched out his hand to pick the cow's head...
