Furthermore, about 26 per cent of all herders own no cattle at all, but have small stock (sheep and goats).
All education dummies have positive and significant coefficients, indicating that more educated herders report higher productivity than their less educated counterparts.
Cooperation between different neighborhoods took the form of granting grazing access to herders who were temporarily passing through the area.
From the regression results, we obtain the predicted probability that the herder migrates with livestock.
Those who continue to remain faithful in repayment are considered trustworthy and are appointed herders.
Second, such pressure forces the herders to move out in search of more pasture and water.
Lack of water is expected to be one of the major factors forcing the herder to move.
Such a policy may adversely affect herders with large herds and should therefore to be considered in the light of its benefits and costs.
