This series of audiovisual recordings documents a morning visit with veterinarian Mönkhbayar to the household in charge of the aimag “nucleus herd”, thoroughbred livestock of the Yeröö breed which are owned by the State and kept for selective breeding purposes. The family take the sheep out of the shelter, bring the lambs to their mothers to suckle, then send off the adult sheep, setting out bran for the younger animals that are left behind. They then rake clean the livestock enclosure.
