A graphical representation of the same data might, however, provide a more visual comparison of the two methods of ranking the different purposes for keeping cattle. Results in the previous table have been averaged over homesteads where livestock is or is not the primary source of income.

Note that two sets of bar charts have been scaled so that they occupy similar vertical widths. The graph demonstrates that, although work/draft is most frequently the primary purpose for keeping cattle, this method of calculation hides the importance of other purposes that may be ranked second or third.
