On the Loess Plateau in Northwest China, some cattle are raised in renovated cave dwellings. In Pingliang, Gansu province, abandoned traditional structures have been transformed into eco-friendly barns where cattle are raised in a carefully managed environment designed to support healthy growth.
“We have renovated abandoned cave dwellings once owned by local villages into modern cattle barns,” said Wang Jun, head of Zhongbin Pingliang Red Cattle Breeding Farm.
“Their natural ability to stay warm in winter and cool in summer creates a more comfortable environment for cattle growth, which helps improve beef quality. The first phase includes 17 caves and can accommodate 250 cattle.”
