Two days before Eid. The cow trade is at its peak. Apparently they are cheaper this year.
A lot of cows come from India, maybe because our Indian Hindu cousins don't eat cow.
The black goats are local, white ones are imported, there has been reports of goats being painted black.
Luckily the streets are far more empty then normal, most people went to their vilage to celibrate eid. It is a mixture of pleasant and eerie.
There are cows in all sizes. For the poorer people there are goats, but as it is status you try your best to get a cow.
Our (small) street has only got a goat, probably mostly foreigners here and others have gone the their village. On the next street there are two cows, they look like good cows, but what do I know.
