Among yaks and snow: A livestock officer’s calling

It is early morning in the highland village of Soe, Thimphu. Inside a wooden room, the stove glows red, filling the air with gentle warmth. Tshering Wangmo pulls open the window curtains. Outside, the world is white and still. Jichu Drakey Mountain shines under the rising sun, its golden light spilling across the snow.
