      abstract = {The aim of this study was to assess the process and extent  of sedentarisation among Fulani cattle owners in the  derived savannah zone of south-west Nigeria. The results,  based on a survey of 66 randomly-selected cattle owners,  indicate an on-going process of settlement. Previously  cattle owners visited the zone for dry season grazing but  an increasing number were found to be settling and becoming  mixed livestock/crop farmers. Generally herd sizes were  large among recent settlers but with longer duration of  settlement and with cattle rearers’ involvement in crop  production, the herds became less mobile between seasons  and herd size decreased and the proportion of farms with  mixed zebu/trypanotolerant cattle herds increased. There  was also evidence that some indigenous Yoruba crop farmers  were becoming mixed farmers by purchasing cattle, hiring  Fulani herdsmen for management, then taking up the  management themselves.},
