LUCKNOW: With the rainfall playing spoilsports, the Bakra Mandi at Dubagga recorded a sale of about Rs 3 crore this Bakrid, which was nearly 50% less as compared to last year.Abrar Khan, who has been managing the mandi for the last 10 years said that about 2,500 goats and buffaloes worth about Rs 3 crore were sold in the mandi till Wednesday evening.

Last year, the business was nearly double that of this year.“We were hoping for good sales on the last day before Bakrid as most people, including from adjoining districts, come to buy animals on the eve of the festival.

However, the sudden change in weather conditions perhaps made people shop locally rather than travelling to Lucknow,” he said.Among those goats which fetched a high price was Shahrukh, the 300-kg Ajmeri goat that was sold for Rs 6 lakh.

Reared by Irfan Agah, the goat was purchased by a Malihabad based businessman.

Agah also had a serohi goat with the same name which was sold for Rs 2.15 lakh to a Lucknow-based businessman.“My market strategy was to cash in on the popularity of the Bollywood actor.

I also had goats including Rajkumar, Sultan and Pathan but they were sold at a lesser price,” said Agah.Other goats sold at a high price included a 125 kg barbari goat, Sultan, sold by Sajid Abbas, a trader at Akbari gate for Rs 1.9 lakh.“It had sharp features, which made me name it Sultan.

I also reared goats named King and Pappu which together were sold for Rs 2.5 lakh and Barfi and Kulfi for Rs 2.6 lakh together,” said Abbas.

Salman and Ghani goats that have birthmarks resembling Allah in Arabic remained unsold buyers till night.

Their seller Mushtaq Ahmad had priced them Rs 51 lakh each.
