After eating, the cattle not only prevent disease but also gain fat. Every year after the busy spring, the farmers in the surrounding villages catch up with the cattle in shunwangping and let the cattle live freely without management. In the evening, each herd gathers to one side, and the Bulls form a circle with two horns. They act as guards to protect the cows and calves in the circle for the night to prevent wild animals from attacking. In the busy autumn season, the villagers drive the cattle down the mountain to harvest and plant in autumn.
