The Basotho are a race that loves the cow in a perfect way and they use it in many things in their lives. This cow is used when families are reunited through marriage, and it is a blessing to the Basotho community during times of famine because it provides meat, milk, and clothes with its cow as if it could not cultivate the fields. At festivals and deaths, the Sotho slaughter a cow as a sign of gratitude and to accompany the deceased and cover him with its cowhide as a blanket for his last journey.

When the chiefs don't agree, some of them beat and give a few cows (one of them is acceptable) according to tradition, which is a sign that the war is over. It stands for the methods that the first King Moshoeshoe used on his way to build the Basotho nation. The English proverb says; "The cow is a god with a wet nose" and this directly points to its importance in society. And the word about a cow is used as a greeting in the community, when someone hits it and says "Cows!" when he met people on the streets or in the city or even in the gathering of calls.

This blanket is a symbol of the importance of the Cow to the Basotho community and shows the cows in the middle and the step of the hoof around its design. It is with this blanket that we make a reminder that the Basotho are "ma ana khomo in the Lord" as they say; A cow follows the Lord, when it dawns in the village, we see each other!"

Basotho ke morabe o ratileng khomo ka tsela e phethehileng mme ba e sebelisa linthong tse ngata maphelong a bona. Khomo ene e sebelisoa nakong eo ho kopanoang malapa ka tsela ea lenyalo, e bile tshiea ho sechaba sa basotho nakong ea tlala hoba ene e fana ka nama, lebese, liaparo ka lekoko la eona eka sitana le ho lema masimong. Meketeng le Mafung Basotho ba hlaba khomo ele sesupo sa teboho le ho felehetsa Mofu ba bile ba mo koahela ka lekoko la eona eba kobo ea leeto la hae la ho qetela.

Marena ha a sa utloane ene ba emong otla fana ka khomo tse mmaloa (elenngoe ene amoheleha) ho ea ka setso ele sesupo sa hore ntoa e lale. Eleng emeng ea mekhoa eo Morena Moshoeshoe oa pele a ileng a e sebelisa tseleng tsa hae ho aheng sechaba sa Basotho. Maele a sesotho a re; “Khomo ke molimo o nko e metsi” ele hona ho supa bohlokoa ba eona ka kotloloho sechabeng. Mme polelo ka khomo eka sebelisoa ele tumeliso hara sechaba, eba motho otla hooa are “Likhomo!” ha eba a kopana le batho metsamaong kapa hona hara motse esita le pokanong ea lipitso.
