Livestock
The Khoikhoi had many different animals in their livestock. Their livestock was only used for milk, like
the cattle, and they were only slaughtered fro ritual occasions (lcweb2.loc.gov). Cattle was not considered product to the
Khoikhoi, but they had a "ritual and social significance" (africanhistory.about.com) to them.

Fragile Economy
The Khoikhoi and the Dutch traded together, but it ended up badly. Because of that, the Khoikhoi's economy
is so fragile (museum.com). Another reason why the economy is so bad is because the livestock came under theft, disease and
drought (museum.com).
Now a days the herders of the Khoikhoi do not have a specific name for them. Their stocks are all individually
owned as well.
