The season when herders in Tianshan mountains turn from foothills to hillside grazing.

Every spring and summer, due to the rising temperature and lush grass on the hillside, it moves from the winter pasture in the foothills to the summer pasture in the mountains.

In autumn and winter, the temperature is low, the precipitation is low, and the foothills are lush, so the alpine pasture turns to the foothills pasture.

Tianshan Mountain is a pasture with vertical separation of forage in winter and summer-that is, alpine grazing. There is more precipitation in Tianshan area, and grass grows on the foothills and slopes.

If grazing is not done according to the season, water (warm) grass (tender and old) is not suitable for the eating habits of cattle and sheep, and the breeding period of cattle and sheep will be disordered. If the growth habit is broken, it will affect its own growth. If you can't grow meat and have lambs, it will affect the interests of herders.

Extended data:

Vertical pastures in Tianshan Mountains in central Xinjiang. In different parts of the mountain, due to different altitudes, hydrothermal conditions change, thus forming different natural landscapes. Kazak herders make full use of grassland resources in Tianshan Mountains to arrange animal husbandry production, forming the characteristics of "four seasons grazing" in mountain animal husbandry.

High temperature in summer, grazing on hillsides, low temperature in winter, grazing on foothills.

Grazing in alpine and subalpine meadows in summer, desert grassland with sunny lee in the foothills in winter, and sparse woodland, piedmont plain and desert in spring and autumn.
