In the south, zebu meat is always served at funerals, and among certain southern tribes the cattle are used as marriage settlements, as in mainland Africa. Whenever there is a traditional ritual or ceremony zebu are sacrificed, the heads being given to the highest-ranking members of the community. Blood is smeared on participants as it is believed to have purification properties, and the fat from the hump of the cattle is used as an ingredient for incense. I have seen a Vezo village elder wearing a domed hat apparently made from a zebu hump. Zebu milk is an important part of the diet among the Antandroy; it is fady for women to milk the cows but it is they who sell the curdled milk in the market.
