　　The "Pengbo Semi-Fine Wool Sheep" new breed was officially approved in 2008 by the National Committee on Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources, becoming Tibet's first nationally recognized new livestock breed. This outstanding new semi-fine wool sheep breed was created by crossing the local Pengbo sheep (used as the female parent) with the Xinjiang Fine Wool Sheep and Tsigai Semi-Fine Wool Sheep as the main sire breeds in a process of graded hybridization, followed by the introduction of an appropriate amount of Tsigai Semi-Fine Wool Sheep bloodlines, and then through line breeding and directional production focusing on wool and meat. It boasts three times the wool yield and double the meat production compared to local sheep, along with high-quality wool that is particularly suitable for use in traditional Tibetan woolen fabrics (such as pulu). Over 600,000 improved offspring have been produced cumulatively, resulting in an increase in output value of more than 150 million yuan. The social and ecological benefits are highly significant.
