Until 15 years ago, there were about a dozen sheepfolds in Panchthar alone. That number has now dwindled to just two.
The procession, which began descending from a place called Gosa near the border with Sikkim and West Bengal in the second week of Shrawan, has now reached Patle Chowk near Jaringe, Falelung Rural Municipality-2, Panchthar.
२०–२५ गर्भवती, त्यत्तिकै संख्यामा दुहुना अनि ३० हाराहारीमा साना पाठापाठी सँगै विभिन्न छिमलका तीन सय बडी भेडासहित यहाँ आइपुगेको गोठ अब याङवरक गाउँपालिकाको ओयाम र थर्पु चहार्दै फागुन लागेपछि उकालो लाग्नेछ ।
भेडाका पाठापाठी प्रतिगोटा १५ देखि ३० हजारसम्ममा बिक्छन् । यो दुध, घीऊ र मासुका लागि उपयोगि मानिन्छ । भेडाको घीऊ ३ हजार रुपैयाँ प्रतिकिलोसम्म बिक्री हुने गरेको अर्का भेडापालक सन्तविर राई बताँउछन् ।
