Livestock Ownership [message #15246]

In the 2010 Burkina Faso data set, the variables for household livestock ownership (hv246a-hv246f) which indicate the number of each category of animals that a household owns. I am wondering what the difference between the following variables:

hv246a: cattle
hv246b: cows

What is the definition of 'cattle' and the definition of 'cows'? Does the category of cattle include only oxen? and does the category of cows include bulls and heifers, or something else entirely? What is the main difference between these two variables, and why are they separate variables?

Thanks,

Rachel
