Abstract
This book explains why and how cattle have evolved in Africa over centuries and the role they play today. The African cattle breeds that exist today comprise a critical long-term asset. They also provide short-term income and the daily food and nutrition for some 800 million livestock keepers across Africa. The diversity of African cattle ranges from breeds adapted to the edges of the Sahara Desert in North Africa, to those able to survive in wet tropical lowlands, to breeds that thrive in the vast savannahs of southern Africa. Where you find people, you find cattle.
