The recordings in this series depict Sodnomtsog letting his sheep out of the enclosure, then driving them to the well next to his father’s (Togtokh Lama’s) elm plantation. He turns on the diesel pump at the well, and waters the livestock by filling the trough. He then sends the sheep off over the hill to graze to the south of the Monastery. Back at home, Chimgee sets out feed for the lambs and kids that have stayed behind.
