Samesh keeps three cows, seven sheep, nine goats, and two dzo (half cow, half yak). The loaded dzos went ahead, navigating their way between steep and slippery rocks. In addition to goats, sheep, and horses, they also rear zho. A dzo - pronounced "Joe" - is a large hairy pack animal, a cross between a yak and a cow. Men led mules and zhos up the valley to the fields. The porters unloaded our dzos, while inside, the cooks were slicing cake and filling a huge teapot. Dzo bells lulled us to sleep, and then woke us to a clear and sunny morning.
