A man walks a herd of ten cows along Highway No. 1 near Nha Trang. The man wears long pants, a striped long-sleeve shirt, and a blue cap. He carries a herding stick.
The ribs of the mostly brown cows are visible, but tropical varieties of cows are generally slender. Large livestock such as cows usually are tended by men in Southeast Asia. Cows and oxen are raised as draft animals and for meat, rather than for milk. Cow’s milk is not a traditional part of local Southeast Asian diets.
