Small numbers of cattle and other animals are also are kept. Hunting, fishing, and gathering wild plants provide additional food for the Bobo Fing. Bobo Fing settlements are comprised of a small number of mud huts with cone-shaped roofs made of palm leaves or thatch. These huts are grouped irregularly around a center court that serves as a meeting place. In a particular locality, a clan consisting of a local lineage dominates.
Many settlements are actually an extended family acting as an economic unit.
Each extended family has a headman who offers sacrifices to their ancestors. The headman is succeeded by his oldest sister's eldest son, who leaves his own compound to assume his new role. Fing men have more than one wife. Most girls are betrothed while they are quite young. Marriages are arranged by either the father or the extended family's headman.
