GRAPHS MIS8051.CHT THROUGH MIS8059.CHT - PERCENTAGES OF ANIMALS WHICH ARE STEERS, COWS AND BULLS.

These graphs show a fairly constant distribution of sexes with the years: Arusha 65:30:5, Moshi 60:30:10, Dar 60:20:20 (steers:cows:bulls).

Regarding seasonal variations, in general the proportions of cows and bulls peaks in December and troughs in July: Arusha with an average of 30% cows peaks at 37% in December and troughs at 15% in July; Moshi exactly the same; but Dar has no discernable pattern on cows. For bulls, Arusha with an average of 5% bulls peaks at 10% in December and troughs with 3% in July; Moshi with an average of 10% peaks at 20% in December and troughs with 5% in July; Dar with an average of 20% bulls peaks with 30% in December and troughs with 15% in July.

Once again, it looks like the cows and bulls are pulled out of the bag for the high prices prevalent at December.
