Pashmina goats in the upper reaches of Ladakh division produce not only the famous pashmina wool but also provide fairly good milk. The goats are bundled together and tied by their horns while they are milked from the behind.

Not really, just a surgery performed on a Shapu. Shapu is a specie of wild sheep from Ladakh. The one in picture was kept at the Deer Pak at Pahalgam. It had developed an abnormal growth on its side (tumor??) which was heavily infested with maggots. A Ketamine Xylazine combination anesthetic was used and the maggots and dead tissue removed.
