| Thanh Duong is a commune with a tradition of raising crossbred cattle for sale in Thanh Chuong district. Currently, the total herd of buffalo and cattle in the commune is nearly 2,000, of which the proportion of crossbred cattle is nearly 80%, bringing high income, opening a way to sustainable poverty reduction for many farming households. The contest for fat and beautiful cows attracted 28 families raising good cows in the commune to bring cows to the contest. At the contest, there were 40 cows, including 16 bulls, 12 cows and calves.
