Mongols for thousand of years raise 5 types of animals on pastures: horses, camels, rams, goats and cows (yaks). One of the main advantages of Mongolian herding is that each day animals are taken to the pasture and find food on their own. They eat grass and medicinal herbs, they absorb nutrients. Each animal eats different plants, cattle eat flowers and some kind of fruits, rams eat stems and other sheep eat lower parts of grass (roots).
