Photo No 9- Though Borana society is traditionally based on the husbandry of cattle, recently there has been a trend towards keeping more sheep and goats - said to be more resistant to drought and reproduce faster. With good rains, some pastoralists are hoping to recover their herds - and food sufficiency - in one season, others are more skeptical, saying at least two to three years of favourable conditions are needed.
