I don't claim to know it all. President Buhari in conjunction with the minister of agriculture keeps proposing the establishment of cattle colony as against the cattle ranching system (being practiced worldwide) as the solution to the fulani-farmers clashes. My question is what is cattle colony? What does it entail and why does our president prefer it to anestablish ssuccessfully proven ranching system?

Cattle ranching :it is a piece of land that is fenced with eithier a stick or concrete wall however the cattles are kept and fed on this piece of land . The movement of the cows are restricted only on that piece of land.
cattle colony is a large land mass which could be hectares of land or more like a community or a town where the only source of living hood is cattle rearing excluding farmers . A good example is kara at ogun state where farmers are not allowed to farm along the path ways of the herdmens.the only people you see are the herdsmen and not a farmer .if we need milk or cow meat people willl visit them to bargain

cattle colony is the best because of the following reasons ranches are very expensive to manage that is the herdmen will now have challenge to buy a land ,buy the animal feed ,transport cost,there will be more case of death motality ,vet cost and lastly cost of cleaning and disposal of the feaces .
cattle colony will look like business as usual the cattle can still move around but restricted within the colony .
