- The local fairs are held in the towns and villages.
Sometimes the buyers come and buy the cattle at the farmer's houses. When a man sells an animal he has to give some money back to the buyer which is called "luck." When the animals are sold they are marked with mud, or with waddle, or with a scissors.
Sometimes when a horse is sold he halter has to be given with the animal.- Collector
