Slaughter ban prompts livestock prices to nosedive

Stroll in the market.

Market prices are printed in local newspapers. So why not get me a price comparison.

So in short you don't have anything to support your claim.

I do get to see prices of eggs, vegetables etc so thought this could be the case.

Yes. Nothing that could ever satisfy you. If not... If you genuinely want to know you can visit any gaushala and ask the folks. On an average the prices have fallen by about 10 to 20% on the whole. The HF breeds have been touched much less - around 5% lower than before. The American breed is untouched.

LOL, you would have done the same. Now the burden of proof lies on you. Is that not you who's making those claims?

Nah, not worth it. You are right. I am wrong. Don't quote this post now.

The farmers from Vidarbha and other impoverished areas can now buy cows cheap for tilling the land.
Cow cooperatives can be made with much less funds and the return on investment will be much much greater.

LOLL, old and emaciated cows can not pull any ploughs. As it is; the cost of tilling fields with these ploughs are more expensive than tractors if you consider the 'cost-benefit' ratio and efficiency factor. Its is so amusing when City dudes try to tell farmers what to do ....... more so when they can barely tell a bull from a cow or some even barely make out one end of the cow from the other.

After a certain age, it is better that a head of cattle is turned into a cricket ball or football or kolhapuri chappal. Raju Shetty is on the right track, the farmers should round up all their old and unproductive cattle and take them to Malabar Hill and let them loose on Mount Pleasant Road or Ridge Road in front of all the Mantri's Houses!

OK that was expected.

Send them to me.
I also plan to start an old age home as well - for unproductive parents. Breaks my heart to see their plight. No cost benefit there either. Just my old fashioned backward Hindu regressive nature.

Great idea that you have.... go ahead with it.
Soon enough; we'll get to see a headline in the papers "PDF farmer commits suicide after unable to repay debts incurred to buy cattle".
Afte 'Cotton Farmers' now we'll amuse ourselves reading about suicides of 'Cattle Farmers' atleast that will help to control the burgeoning Indian population!

Which village are you from? Thanks anyway.

T.Balu's village in Maharashtra.

In any case, sorry to know that your cattle trade got hit(I am assuming this). This won't be implemented all over India. Your cow butcher farms will probably have to shift to some other adjacent state.

Good luck.

We are happy that our local cooperatives got cows worth 50k for around 40k this weekend. This will again go up slightly because many are being sold off to other states for slaughter.

No you are wrong, it's the price of unproductive cattle which has gone down and not the cattle in general.

the price of cattle will go down too.I think poor farmers will able to buy cows now and the milk will be cheaper.This is good deal overall and this will initially be tough but with time this will come in habbit
