Not only are they a source of food in meat and milk, but they are also a sign of wealth in the community. The more cattle and wives a Masai man has, the wealthier he is.
The maasai people don't eat meat except on a special occasion. To get their protein, they drink the cattle blood. They also drink cattle milk, and they eat ugali (a hard, traditional porridge) and maize (corn). Sorry, I don't know much else!
Cattle.
The Maasai do not accumulate money; they hold their cattle in such high regard that the cattle themselves are seen as a measure of a man's wealth. Any man who has at least 50 cattle would be seen as being wealthy.
they drink their blood, mmixed with their milk.
Look after cattle and look after children.
They mainly herd cattle, goats and sheep.
The cattle
The Maasai have quite a lot of uses from their cattle. 1)They can use their cattle's blood(mixed with milk) for drinking purposes. 2)They can use their meat for food. 3)They can get milk from their cattle for drinking purposes. 4)And the can also use cow dung to plaster houses.
Maasai women collect water, wood for fire, collects the crops, look after the cattle (milking and feeding them) and often build their house made of cow dung.
