Cattle colony is not a strategy for grazing cattle but a centre for cattle and beef product sales. Moreover, since cattle colony is essentially devoted to the sale of cattle and beef products, it is, therefore, not one of the modern methods for raising cattle or other livestock. Any herdsman or cattle in a cattle colony is there for trading and slaughtering of the cattle and not for grazing. The string of abattoirs and warehouses that are established in Pakistan’s cattle colony show that it is entirely a market for beef cattle. If the Pakistanis who introduced cattle colony in their cattle economy established just one colony, why then is the minister talking about establishing cattle colonies all over Nigeria?
