Nuer and Dinka Tribes
Cattle
Both the Nuer and the Dinka tribes' culture involved cattle in some way. The Nuer did not really use their cattle for food, but they did drink the milk. For the Dinka Tribe, milk, in different forms, is a main source of food. In the Nuer Tribe just like the Dinka Tribe, the cattle is taken of by the men. Often though, since both tribes had a great volume of cattle they would find over cattle grazing land.
