Patna: With Bakrid just days away, city's Raja Bazaar cattle market witnessed a significant surge in visitors on Thursday as the Muslim faithful purchased goats for qurbani (sacrificial rituals) during the festival on June 7. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Sellers, who have come not only from various parts of Bihar but also from other states such as Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh with thousands of goats of diverse breeds, were hopeful of selling all the cattle by Friday. "I sold 136 indigenous goats weighing 12-18kg each, priced between Rs 11,000 and Rs 20,000. Only four goats are left. We are sure that we will sell the remaining by Friday. The market was good this year, and we witnessed a huge rush," said Moh Aslam from Begusarai. While on an average the goats are priced between Rs 10,000-12,000, premium specimens fetched Rs 80,000-1.5 lakh, based on their size and breed like Barbari from Etawah, UP, and Totapari from Jaipur, Rajasthan, — highly sought after for their distinctive appearance. Additionally, the market features Jamnapari from UP, Ajmeri from Ajmer, Rajasthan, and various local breeds from several Bihar districts, including Buxar, Begusarai, Bhojpur, Purnia, Kishanganj, Saharsa, Arwal, Jehanabad and Siwan. Nazre Alam, a vendor from Azamgarh's Mubarakpur in UP, said he bought 45 goats, mainly Totapari and Ajmeri breeds. "I sold 43 cattle heads within a week, each in the range of Rs 35,000 to Rs 80,000, weighing 30kg to 45kg. Of the three left, one costs Rs 1.5 lakh, weighing 140kg, while the other two are priced at Rs 95,000 (weighing 80-90 kg)," he said.

Hansa, Jamnapari, Barbari—The ‘supermodels' of Bakrid goat shopping
With Eid-ul-Adha (Bakrid) just days away, Lucknow's goat markets are alive with activity as buyers scour for the finest breeds. From the sturdy Barbari to the regal Hansa, customers are drawn to unique features, beauty, build, and rarity, with prices already soaring. The Barbari breed commands ₹1 lakh, while the Hansa fetches around ₹75,000, yet neither is the most expensive. Sellers claim that as the festival nears, rates for both high-end and affordable breeds will climb sharply. The real showstoppers, however, are the Beetal and African Boer breeds, which dominate the premium segment. Averaging between ₹4-5 lakh, these goats can even sell for several lakhs, depending on demand. Ghazanfar Abbas, a seasoned goat trader from Barabanki, notes that buyers from across Uttar Pradesh flock near Lucknow's Jogger Park for their prized picks. 'The rush hasn't peaked yet, it's the final two or three days before Bakrid when the real crowd arrives,' he says. The Beetal, a popular Indian breed found in Punjab and Pakistan's Punjab region, is known for its impressive height of four feet and weight of up to 280 kg. With its striking white eyes and sturdy build, it often features in livestock competitions. 'Last year, a buyer from Kanpur paid over ₹21 lakh for two Beetals,' Ghazanfar recalls. Then there's the African Boer, towering at nearly five feet, weighing 200-250 kg, and known for its aggressive demeanour. 'Its meat sells at ₹2,000 per kg, and the live animal starts at ₹4 lakh, with prices rising based on buyer interest,' Ghazanfar added. For those seeking beauty over brawn, the Barbari, native to Agra and Mathura, stands out with its dense fur, frills, and distinctive pink skin, another goat seller said. Meanwhile, the Hansa and Jamnapari breeds from Chambal and Etawah, along with Rajasthan's Sirohi, Gujri, and Ajmeri goats, attract buyers for their height and striking appearance.
