Fulani head south for dry season

During the dry season the nomadic Fulani (Peul) head to the wetter south. They live in the bush and sell the meat of their injured cattle, as well as fresh milk and cheese, for money. Recently, a number of disputes have arrisen between stationary farmers in village and the Fulani, who's cattle often consume the corn, sorghum, or other crops before or during harvest.
