Abstract
African cattle distribution is considered in relation to rainfall and the presence of tsetse (Glossina species), over the continent as a whole and Ethiopia in particular. Highly correlated linear logarithmic relationships are demonstrated between cattle biomass and mean annual rainfall in tsetse free regions. A means of assessing ‘optimum carrying capacity’ for large herbivores is discussed, and cartographic predictions are made, to indicate areas of apparent ‘overstocking’ in Ethiopia.
