Zhurey and Bhim villages in Chhumig Gewog, Bumthang are one of the few villages in the Dzongkhag still rearing sheep.
The practice of sheep rearing has been slowly declining in the Dzongkhag and revival efforts have been affected by wild life predation.
Just two years ago, the National Sheep Breeding Centre distributed a hundred sheep to five households of the two villages. Today, the number of sheep has dropped by almost half.
