This is a 5-digit variable that represents a number of cows or bulls owned, except for the following codes:
99990 = Logical edit
99996 = Not interviewed (household questionnaire)
99997 = Don't know
99998 = No response
99999 = NIU (not in universe)
Description
COWBULLNUM reports the total number of cows or bulls owned by the household.
Users should be careful to distinguish this variable from COWBULLHOME (the number of cows or bulls on the homestead, which may or may not be owned by the household).
Respondents were asked to report what assets the household owned in order to calculate a wealth index based on assets. This information can be found in the variables SCORE, WEALTHQ, and WEALTHT.
Enumerators were instructed to code "Don't know" or "No response" cases as -88 and -99, respectively. However, in some samples, a select number of enumerators recorded an unexpectedly high number of 88 and 99 values for livestock variables. We believe the majority of these cases were intended to represent "don't know" and "no responses" instead of indicating a number of livestock. IPUMS has recoded these cases to "Logical edit - missing".
The question associated with this variable was included in the household questionnaire.

There are variations in the animals referred to. Most commonly, the survey asked if there were any cows or bulls, or milk cows or bulls on the homestead. However, some samples, noted below as applicable, included other animals in the same question.

The Round 2, 3, and 4 surveys ask "How many of the following animals does this household keep ON THE HOMESTEAD? Milk cows, oxen or bulls?" (emphasis added)
Comparability with IPUMS-DHS
COWBULLNUM in IPUMS-PMA is similar to the variable COWBULLNUM in IPUMS-DHS. Universe differences between the two variables and variations in the specific question wording may affect comparability; see the Survey Text and Universe Tab of the IPUMS-DHS variable for more information.
