Ugandan cattle keepers document their breed

Ankole cattle in southwestern Uganda are well-known for their massive horns. Now this breed has been documented by the people who keep it for the first time.

Elizabeth Katushabe of the Pastoral and Environmental Network in the Horn of Africa (PENHA) coordinated the documentation effort, in collaboration with LPP and the Local Livestock for Empowerment (LIFE) Network. The resulting book is available in English and Kinyankole, the local language.
