Cows and goats are important animals in Nuer culture.

Nuer people say that the cow is your mother until your death.

In the ancient days, the Nuer said that you have two mothers.

Your first mother is the mother who delivered you.

Your second mother and her sister are the cow and goat.

That is why Nuer people love cows and goats above all animals.

Cows and goats are used as dowry in the Nuer community.

They are given as offerings when there is a problem.

Cows and goats have no comparison in Nuer culture.
