They are large, with a huge hump on their back, all white. And they are vegetarians. Yes, I know, all cows are vegetarian, but the cows you and I know have large pens or fields set aside for their grazing.
Not so for the cows of nomads. Remember, as nomads they own nothing but their cows. These herders must find grazing lands for their cows every day. So much the better if the lands they go to are open lands with no farmers with their crops.
They love their cows. Their cows are their bank account, their charge card, their stock market investments. No wonder Christians who know Fulani well put them forward as models extraordinaire of the love of the Good Shepherd for His people. The Fulani exercise uncompromising, unselfish, unconditional love for their cows. Nothing comes between them and their cows.
So every day the herders take down the barb wire that encloses their herds, pick up their stick, and move their livestock to the day's grazing land.
