Basic Introduction of Sibu Yak

The "L ü shi Chunqiu" records that "the beauty of meat lies in the meat of the yak elephant". As one of the three major high-altitude animals in the world, yak meat is known as the "crown of beef" and belongs to the semi wild natural green food category. Rich in protein, amino acids, iron, as well as trace elements such as carotene, calcium, and phosphorus, yak meat is highly favored by the public for its low fat and high calorie content, which significantly improves the body's disease resistance, cell vitality, and organ function

Yaks are divided into three groups, namely Pari yaks, Jiali yaks, and Sibu yaks. After being recognized by the National Livestock Breeds Committee, they are divided into four excellent groups, namely Pari yaks, Nyingya yaks, Sibu yaks, and alpine yaks. Among them, Pari yaks are only distributed in Pari Town, Yadong County, Shigatse, our district; The Niangya yak is mainly distributed in Jiali County, Nagqu Prefecture. Currently, Jiali County has established a Niangya yak breeding base; The Sibu yak is famous for its excellent quality, and it was a tribute enjoyed by the old Xizang dignitaries. Now, Sibu yaks have emerged from the mountain valleys and become commodities, becoming a treasure for the herdsmen in the Mozhugongka area of Lhasa to increase their income and become prosperous; High mountain yaks are mainly distributed in the eastern and southern regions of our district. In Nagqu, due to the characteristics of large scale, high quality, and good market, the yak industry has become a pillar industry here

Sibu yak is one of the four excellent yak breeds in Xizang. For the herders in Sibugou, the entire body of yaks is their treasure for increasing income and wealth. The fur, bones, and meat of Sibu yaks are particularly popular in the market. The herdsmen in Sibugou are becoming more and more commodity conscious. Before the Tibetan New Year this year, all the "Sibugou" yaks sold out. The herders in Sibugou happily said, "Our yak products here don't have to worry about getting married." In fact, in the past, Sibugou yaks were rarely sold as tribute, and the herders rarely received benefits. In order to pave a path to wealth for the people, in 2004, Mozhugongka County raised 7.5 million yuan from multiple sources to build a road leading from National Highway 318 to Sibugou. Once the road was opened, according to Basang, the secretary of the Kaga Village Party Branch, it was like "liberation", and the supply of domestically raised yaks was in short supply after being sold. There are 36 herders in Kaga Village, each raising yaks. In 2005, the average cash income per capita of the herders in the village reached 1450 yuan, with 80% of the cash income coming from raising yaks. With cash income, the living standards of farmers and herdsmen have gradually improved, and yaks are no longer seen as a symbol of wealth by herdsmen. They have also gradually changed their concept of cherishing killing and selling
