Feeder stock are traded in both directions, but with the major flow outward from Maasailand. However, as described in Chapter III, cattle sold by Maasai are principally slaughter stock destined -267- for Nairobi and other urban markets. Thirty percent of the cattle brought to Emali by the traders referred to above were immatures sold for breeding and draft purposes, and 70 percent were adults marketed for slaughter. By sex, over 70 percent were steers, with the balance fairly evenly divided bet...ween bulls and females. The overwhelming majority of immatures were steers (Table G.3) . These relative proportions of breeding/draft and slaughter sales are similar to percentages recorded for 2,584 head of cattle sold at Emali over a one-year period beginning September, 1981 (one- fourth of the estimated number of total transactions) , as shown in Table G.4. Sixty-two percent of the cattle were sold for slaughter, with the majority channeled to urban centers, while 38 percent were sold to producers in Maasailand and Machakos District for breeding or draft purposes.
