13. I understand. The camels where I was were all owned by a single herding family and are so

highly valued. All were extremely calm and well cared for. When we went out into the Gobi, young boys took the leads, but the camels just walked on either side of the camel herder. No one jerked the animals. I found this article you might want to read. I would say that the camels were the major source of income for the family. They are offered for treks in the desert during summer (tourist) season and then moved to the north to graze. In fact, they were dismantling their gers the day we were there.
