Karachi — The cattle market at Karachi Northern Bypass has entered its 20th day with strong activity, as thousands of animals continue to arrive daily. Officials report that more than 13,000 animals have already reached the site, while visitors keep streaming in ahead of the upcoming sacrificial season.
Livestock influx drives public interest and competition
Market activity has increased significantly as buyers and visitors show growing interest in high-value and unusual animals. Among them, a rare Russian-breed bull named “Chambeli” has drawn large crowds and become a major attraction. The animal’s owner, trader Muhammad Amjad, brought it from Muridke and quickly gained attention for its distinctive features.
Moreover, Amjad made a public challenge, offering Rs500,000 to anyone who can present a similar calf. He described the bull as having prominent horns, a compact build, and an energetic temperament. Consequently, the claim has further boosted curiosity among visitors attending the market.
In addition, Amjad explained that he feeds the bull a rich diet including milk, yogurt, butter, wheat flour, and grains. As a result, he believes the animal has developed premium quality suitable for the sacrificial season. He also confirmed that the bull meets maturity standards, noting it has four teeth.
Facilities and arrangements receive public feedback
Meanwhile, Administrator Tariq Tanoli stated that visitors have largely expressed satisfaction with the arrangements at the market. He noted that management teams have worked to ensure smoother operations for both buyers and traders.
Furthermore, visitors praised the availability of basic facilities, describing the environment as organized and convenient. Ultimately, the growing turnout and steady livestock supply indicate strong market momentum as the season progresses.
