Explanation

The N’dama is a breed of cattle found in West Africa. Different cattle breeds are raised for different purposes. Some are good for milk, others for meat, and some for pulling heavy loads.

N’dama cattle are primarily raised for their meat. They are beef cattle, not dairy cattle. Farmers value N’dama because they resist diseases like trypanosomiasis which is spread by tsetse flies. This makes them well-suited for tropical West African conditions.

While N’dama can produce some milk and can pull plows, these are not their main uses. They are mainly bred and raised to produce beef for food. Cattle do not produce fiber like sheep do.
