Abstract
This video shows life in Bayanbulag in the springtime. Baatar with his son moved to their spring farm with a small yurt in order to look after the new-born lambs. Baatar tries to keep the new-born lambs together with their mothers so they do not get lost in the flock. Seeing that a sheep is reluctant to feed her baby, Baatar simply ties up its front feet. A local herder arrives asking Baatar whether he has seen his lost cattle. According to Baatar, in busy season, nearly 20 lambs would be born during the daytime and about 10 at night. Those born during the cold months would need extra care and extra hay to help them grow stronger.
