A Kushtia dairy farm owner sold his 1200 kg weight bull for Tk two lakh only at Gabtoli as one of its legs was broken while bringing to Dhaka.
 “It was my bad luck! A buyer at Kushtia offered me Tk nine lakh for the bull. But I did not accept it in the hope of selling at higher price in Dhaka,” said Kazi Shawkat, the owner of the Kazi Farm.
“It took 17 hours to arrive Gabtoli cattle market from Kushtia. The bull was unable to stay for a long time. It fell on the truck and one of its leg was broken,” he said.
He said that even after giving treatment for seven days, the leg could not be healed. He spent Tk 10,000 for treatment of the bull.
“The lame bull cannot be used as a sacrificial animal. So, the doctor advised me to sell the bull to a butcher. I hoped to sell around Tk four lakh. But I got Tk two lakh only,” he said.
Kazi Shawkat said, “I have 180 bulls in my farm this year. The black bull had highest weight. The bull was 1200 kg in weight.
