"Weekly Contest 35 || The Diary Game || 05 June 2025 - Visiting the cattle market for Eid al-Adha."

Assalamu Alaikum dear, Greetings to all from my motherland Bangladesh and a warm welcome to my blog for another session on the topic of my daily lifestyle content.

Today I came to participate in a wonderful diary contest organized by the moderator of this community. I would like to thank @m-fdo for organizing such a wonderful contest.

I started today by wishing everyone good health. I went to the mosque to offer Fajr prayers and met my cousin there. After the prayers, he said that today he would go to the area next to our house to sell his goats because there is an animal market there. We directly hired a goat autorickshaw and went to that market. After going here, we stood there until noon but no customers were coming. However, after a while, it suddenly got dark. I was standing on the bank of the river when I saw smoke rising from a brick kiln on the other side of the river.

There was a lot of water flow in the river and the traders had cut down many trees beside it. Because they would make furniture by cutting these trees. I took a picture of the dark environment at that moment. Then from there I went back to the animal market and the darkness disappeared. The market authorities have made very good arrangements to keep the animals.

Because rain can come at any time and it is the rainy season in Bangladesh now. For this, a huge screen has been placed on the head of each animal. People and cows can stand under the screen and it protects them from the sun and rain. These places have been made on the other side of the road so that people can move through the road.

Let us explain to you clearly what kind of work the authorities do in this animal market. Basically, the job of the market authorities is that they monitor and manage all the activities. If someone comes to sell cows or goats in this market, they can go to a specific place and keep the goats and cows and there is a good arrangement for keeping them there.

There is a bamboo system to prevent the animals and there is a water system for feeding them. However, the person who does it has to pay a token of a certain amount. They warn everyone through a sound box every now and then so that their money and property can be safe because there can be many thieves in the market.

The committee members are sitting around with tables and chairs, and after a while they sit down with a microphone and a speaker to give directions. I liked it. So I went to the nearby mosque and prayed, then came back to my cousin's house and found out that he had sold a goat.

But he was standing with another goat because he had brought two goats. I went to see some cows nearby that were hybrids. The cows were beautiful and strong. So I spent some time visiting that market and made videos every now and then, which I have provided the YouTube link below.
