Cattle markets across Dhaka have begun to fill up ahead of Eid-ul-Azha, with traders bringing cows, goats, and buffaloes from districts including Kushtia, Rajshahi, Jhenaidah, Pabna, and Chuadanga. Field visits show a clear dominance of locally raised cattle this year, while Indian cattle are comparatively scarce. Traders reported low buyer turnout in recent days but expect full-scale trading to begin Monday as government and private offices close for the holiday.
At major markets such as Uttara’s Diabari and Gabtoli, thousands of local cows have arrived. Farmers like Ziaur Rahman from Kushtia and Anwar Molla from Rajshahi expressed optimism that sales will pick up once buyers start visiting. Some traders have already sold a few animals at modest profits, while others await the main rush. Buyers noted slightly higher prices than last year, with most preferred cows priced between one and 2.5 lakh taka.
Large animals such as the Brahma bull “Sultan Bhai,” sold for 8.5 lakh taka, and other giant cattle from Barishal drew crowds. However, late afternoon rain left markets muddy and temporarily empty of buyers.
