A large proportion of Tibetans are herdsmen. For them, grazing livestock on pasture is their job as well as part of their life. In the morning or near the dusk, not a fixed time, beside the lake or across the township road, not a fixed location, one can easily find groups of domestic animals being driven by herdsmen, some adults, some even children.
