Furthermore, about 26 per cent of all herders own no cattle at all, but have small stock (sheep and goats).
From the regression results, we obtain the predicted probability that the herder migrates with livestock.
Second, such pressure forces the herders to move out in search of more pasture and water.
Those who continue to remain faithful in repayment are considered trustworthy and are appointed herders.
Such herders are therefore more likely to have deficiencies of pasture as compared to their counterparts with less but more productive land.
Lack of water is expected to be one of the major factors forcing the herder to move.
Our study tests this and uses the results to draw policy conclusions for improving the welfare of herders.
Such a policy may adversely affect herders with large herds and should therefore to be considered in the light of its benefits and costs.
