Tibetan sheep

　　The grasslands in Zoige County are vast and rich in water and vegetation, making it an excellent natural pasture. Grasslands account for 79.2% of the county's total area, forests for 16.6%, and cultivated land for 0.48%. The southern and northwestern parts are purely pastoral areas, mainly raising yaks, sheep, and horses. Tibetan sheep are one of the most widely distributed and numerous livestock breeds in Aba Prefecture. They prefer cool and dry climates, have strong resistance to cold and drought, and offer high economic returns in breeding, which is why they are raised in large numbers and widely distributed.
