This article stresses that livestock makes an important contribution to the livelihood of Sahelian farmers and herders and is a source of self-insurance against income shocks. The article subsequently goes on to say that by allocating livestock efficiently over space, spatial market integration should foster a sustainable use of pasture resources. The article concludes that:- spatial market integrations favors the sharing of risk across regions by smoothing idiosyncratic price variations
- using monthly livestock price data from Niger, the authors show that livestock markets are poorly integrated
- prices are seldom co-integrated, short-term integration is largely absent and there is evidence of market segmentation
- large price differentials occasionally persist between adjacent areas for long periods of time
- these results confirm descriptive studies that have emphasized regional segmentation in West African livestock trade
