RisenPhoenix: First of all it is NOT necessary to cover every square foot of crop surface area with sprayed cow blood. The farmer needs only study the well-worn paths taken by the marauding cattle herds to approach his farm, so as to tactically apply the cattle deterrent soup in a selective manner, as a way to conserve supplies. In open land, a thin line of blood dripped along the entire farm perimeter, will have the desired effect, and cost very little. I have boldfaced a very important point you made, which is that a wise farmer, particularly one who might have decided to deploy cow blood on his land to expel intruders in contemporary Nigeria, would do well to studiously avoid any show of anger toward any members of the Fulani cattle-herding terror gangs that feed their herds fat on standing crops, so as not to provoke random attacks while they work their land on the farm, or while their families slumber in their homes late at night. Cows have an extremely powerful and keen sense of smell, such that entire herds will stop eating and just raise their heads passively, if they smell cow manure spray in any farm or pasture. When cow blood is added to the equation, however, the response from the cows becomes very dramatic and entertaining, with lots of random galloping about delivering Bruce Lee kicks, along with demented bellowing while pawing great clouds of dust into the air with their front hooves, followed very soon thereafter by a disorderly and hasty evacuation of the entire herd from the locality where that smell is detected by the cattle, but NOT their human companions. 1 Like |

ABCthings: I am clueless because I don't follow the herd mentality while sitting behind my desk in an office and talking about what goes on in the rural areas? The majority of actual herdsmen with herds of cattle don't go around looking for trouble. Most of them work for indigenes of the region, taking care of their cattle for pay. 1 Like 1 Share |

Just spray snuff on the crop and plants. Any cow that inhales or eat the snuff will die immediately. Try it and see |

That doesn't stop the herdsmen from using their cows to stamp through your fields thereby destroying the plants in the process |

ABCthings: I don't have any information about who does that, and I want to believe that such a general stereotype must be false. Of course, there surely must be some murderous bad eggs among them just as there are murderous bad eggs in every tribe, race or community. I refuse to consequently categorize all members of a community based on the actions of a few; especially when I have had otherwise normal interactions with other members of the same community. 1 Like |

Tusa-Tusa or rat poison are best. Spray them on your cassava and yam leaves. Don't forget to also spray them on the grass surrounding your farms. Come back and thank me later with your 10% offering. |

RisenPhoenix:You are not in Nigeria I guess? Today, this today o, someone called me to come and see what they did to my farm. I think they came in the night and uprooted my cassava to feed to their cattles . This is not the first time o. Even my neighbor's yam that he preserved by burying them was unearthed and fed to the cows. This is not the first time they have invaded my farm. If you check my topics you will see a thread I opened few years ago asking for advice on how to deter them peacefully but no solution yet. I think I will quit farming. I'm so discouraged right now. 1 Like |

I once told my Hausa security man to allow a herd of cow graze in a part of the farm that was not cultivated at the time. He refused vigorously - he said Oga, these people (ie the herdsmen) are wicked (his word). His contention was that if you give them any room, they might return in the dead of the night to graze the cultivated parts. He said they are heartless. A few months later, a herd of cows graze through my entire maize plants overnight. The scale of the destruction was shocking. My new security man slept through it all Despite all that, and to the consternation of my farm workers, if I'm around when cows encroach, I still try to allow them graze in parts of the farm that are not cultivated. To me it just seems churlish to deny hungry cows feed on grass that I have no immediate need for. And I think a lot of people will be willing to accommodate the herdmens if they too would cooperate and keep within agreed boundaries. But they often don't. |

RisenPhoenix:I don't know where you are based but here in Kogi State, some migrating Bokolos will enter your farm at night, trample on anything that grows in the farm, harvest your crop and feed it to their cattles. They uproot cassava and cut it in pieces so the cattles can eat it. The white Fulani cows don't eat yam leaves but they so much like cassava leaves and the fresh stem. |

DeLaRue:By the time you cultivate the part that they grazed, they will be bold enough to tell you it's "hayan malu" There some that were born and bred in the community. They speak Yoruba fluently and often pass by my farm. I tried to be very friendly with them and even give them food whenever they pass by. In fact, they used give me some ideas about how tos and not tos! Until when my mom was sick and I wasn't chanced to visit the farm for some times. When I got back, the whole farm has been turned to field. Cassava intercropped with maize. The farm was a little more than an acre. I have so many stories of my farm being destroyed. Infact, I have videos on my phone as I type now. Herdsmen are going to cause food scarcity in this country if it continues this way. |

Jakumo: Exactly the blood could also be diluted for more volume since the cows will still smell it either ways. |

Thanks to Nairaland's own Organic Chemist of renown, Ms. Sweetmom, Trisodium Citrate has been identified as the additive best suited to preventing the coagulation and clotting of fresh cow blood. With that viscosity problem solved, the discerning industrial farmer of means can now afford to think big, but not too big, in terms of cost. I speak of drone crop sprayers, featured in the following two Youtube videos. Sent aloft with a payload of thinned cow blood that has been carefully filtered though fine cloth to remove all particulate matter, a drone such as the following two examples, could very quickly protect a hectare of farmland or more, with a fine mist of cow blood solution blended in water, to ensure that cattle stay clear for up to a fortnight, depending on precipitation and regional weather. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G93LP7PnP0A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzGIYYN3sOc Without question, I am convinced that there are numerous Nairaland readers, who heft the financial muscle to place multiple orders for crop-spraying drones like the ones above, capable of spraying one hectare in NINE MINUTES, for the SOLE purpose of running a profitable business spraying farms silently, quickly and to devastating effect against the surging hordes of cattle now streaming down from the drought plagued north of the country, and thereby constituting a growing peril that gravely threatens Nigeria's agricultural food production capacity. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mWDpVC0Has 2 Likes 1 Share |

Jakumo: This is great, much safer and much more cost effective than using small planes, I know a German family of a father and two sons that use light planes to spray farms in East Africa, they get paid very well (the job is extremely dangerous because they have to fly very low), also these drones can be produced very cheaply in China, I came back from China 2 days ago and I can assure you that you can make these drones there for a fraction of the cost of what you would buy them from Europe.

ABCthings: Because I know there is no 'Fulanization' or 'Islamization' agenda. If a few criminals who happen to be from a specific tribe commit a crime, I do not feel the need to attribute it to all members of that tribe. I do not believe that all Igbos are drug dealers or all Yorubas are ritual killers because there have been repeated notorious incidents of that kind among them. I think that it is important to retain one's objectivity in an environment of group insanity. |

Ameboperoo: That is obviously condemnable, but still not cause for war in my opinion. I am sure that the local leaders should be able to settle their complaints amicably with their leaders and claim compensation. There is even an urgent need for a concerted government effort to instate strict migration routes and educate them as to proper behaviour while migrating. But this constant talk of Fulanization and Islamization is just sparking and fueling a non existent fire. |

Sweetmom: Apologies for the mistake regarding your gender. I see now your nom-de-plume is most likely an homage to a very important woman in your life. Drones are definitely the next evolutionary step in aerial crop spraying, though for a while at least, the larger capacity and longer flight times of regular full-scale crop spraying planes will keep outfits like that German family in East Africa, with full work calendars. 1 Like |

Ameboperoo: Do they have local leaders in your area? They usually do. Try to get in touch with your local leaders as well and go claim compensation. I say this because I have seen those who have done this in the past. When enough farmers complain, the local leaders will move to talk to them for a permanent solution. |
