The logistic regression analysis was employed to identify determinants of cattle market participation decision by pastoral household in Borana zone. Three kebeles were selected based on secondary data and reviewed literatures. Primary data were collected from 223 sampled pastoralist, 25 traders and 14 brokers. Econometric Approach was used to investigate determinants of pastoralist household cattle market participation. For logistic regression model six explanatory variables used and out of which three significantly affect probability of producers’ market participation decision. The number of cattle owned, number of camel owned and gender are predictors that significantly affect probability of cattle market participation. Both number of cattle and camel owned per household affects positively the probability of market participation. This implies that rearing large size of cattle and camels provoke cattle market participation decision of pastorals and it is also advisable to promote Borana cattle breed conservation. Holding the other predictor variables constant, being male by its-self increase the probability cattle market participation by 2.92 factors as compared to female household heads. This calls for systematic intervention of government to mainstreaming gender in cattle market that supposed to optimize the sector productivity. For one unit increase in number of cattle owned the probability of cattle market participation increase by 1.12 factors, other factors held fixed. For one unit increase in number of camel owned, the probability of cattle market participation decision increase by factor of 1.23 times, given the other variables held constant. Top 1st to 5th ranked constraints of cattle market include lengthy market, brokers’ interference, disease and parasite, clan conflict and unfriendly relation between market actors. Other 6th to 10th ranked market problems include informal trade, lack of reliable market information, recurrent tax, infrastructure constraint and initial capital problem. As remedial measure shortening the supply chain, animal health center development, capacity development, adopting value addition practices, update market information provision, cooperative formation and linking producers to market is believed to optimize the benefits of pastorals and boost cattle productivity.
