Cattle's my life!

Cattle's my life!
For fulani people, an ethnic group find in most West African countries and specialises in cattle raising, there is no life if there is no cattle. This is cultural with socio-economic importance. Cattle provide milk, and milk provide cheese and other by products. These products are sold by the woman fulani! And it plays a very important role in the household. The more often you can give milk to your spouse, the better your relationship may be. This picture show a fulani getting the milk from the cow, in Thuy village (North of Benin). This activity is highly skill demanding. If you want to try it, come in Benin, and let's visit the fulani camps!
