The puntland 'reer miyi' population should be roughly around 3 million and the data I use to support this is the 'anfar' state of ethiopia. Anfar region of Ethiopia is 'census counted' to 1.8 million so let's look at their 'livestock count' to see what population size correlates with their livestock population.
The CSA estimated in 2005 that farmers in the Afar Regional State had a total of 327,370 cattle (representing 0.84% of Ethiopia's total cattle), 196,390 sheep (1.13%), 483,780 goats (3.73%), 200 mules (0.14%), 12,270 asses (0.49%), 99,830 camels (21.85%), 38,320 poultry of all species (0.12%), and 810 beehives (less than 0.1%). The CSA estimated on the basis of a survey performed in December 2003 that nomadic inhabitants had 1,990,850 cattle (an 83.8% share of those animals in the Region that year), 2,303,250 sheep (90.6%), 3,960,510 goats (90%), 759,750 camels (85.9%), 175,180 asses (92.5%), 2960 mules (88.6%), and 900 horses (100%).[12]
2.3 million Sheeps, 3.9 million goats, 760k camels, 2 million cattle. Total for Anfar Nomads? 8-9 million give or take on their livestock count. Their population size is documented as below
Puntland livestock is 12.3 Million and this is data collected back in the early 2000 period mind you and when we used to export our livestock to Kenya. They marked all the camels and the percentage of the market each region of Somalia owned.
North-Eastern Camels represented 12.3 million in Somalia livestock count based on the sample rate they used in the Nairobi terminal market. North West was 12.2 but this includes sool/sanaag which are 90% where livestock in the north is located in particularly The dhulbahante breed of camel was noted as 'north west' in the sample rate in Nairobi livestock market. Central region which is Habar gedir/Marehan as the second largest clan in the central areas before it becomes 'south' which is beletwayne illa shabellaha hoose.
12 Million livestock for 8 million anfar livestock is a variation of 4 million livestock. I would assume since the Anfar are 1.8 million, Puntland just the north-east is 3 million based on that data.
