Best Answer

Tibetan herdsmen raise sheep, goats, yaks, horses, mules, and oxen bred from cattle and yaks. The yak is more suitable to the high areas of the Tibet and the yak shawls produced in the workshop sell for up to £600, providing an income for Tibetan yak herders, who are among China's poorest inhabitants.
