Hyderabad: With Eid-ul-Adha festival round the corner, the demand for rams, sheep and goats in the city has escalated. Around 2 lakh sheep are sold in the city during the three-day festival to be celebrated from Sunday.
The festival popularly known as Bakrid is celebrated on the 10th day of the Islamic calendar month of Dhul Hijja, also the last month of the calendar. In India, the festival will be celebrated on July 10 onwards.
On the occasion, Muslims sacrifice sheep or cattle as a practice and divide the meat into three equal parts. While one part is distributed among friends, acquaintances and relatives, the other part is for the poor and the destitute and the remaining one they keep for themselves. In Hyderabad, sheep traders from different districts of Telangana and adjoining Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka sell the livestock.
“A sheep yielding around 12 kg of meat is sold for Rs 10,000 in the market. Usually people purchase a sheep weighing between 11 kg and 14 kg for Qurbani,” said Tajuddin Ahmed, a commission agent at Jiyaguda sheep market.
