Herding Health

A Mongolian herder milks her cows in the late afternoon. The size of the livestock holdings of most families, particularly newcomers who have migrated from urban centers, is well below the subsistence level. For a sustainable livelihood over the long term, a family of herders needs at least 10 heads of cattle or yak or 70 sheep. Yet when livestock collectives were disbanded in the early 1990s, about 20 percent of families, many of them headed by women, received fewer than 10 animals. (U.S. Air Force photo/Master Sgt.
