Pabna, June 5, (V7N)- Standing 6 feet tall, with a white-black coat. It looks quite majestic with a dominant body. This bull weighs over 1,320 kg, (33 maunds). It is named Sultan Suleiman. It is now coming to the cattle market for the Eid-ul-Adha sacrifice.
The massive bull has already caught everyone's attention. Khamari Sajib Ahmed has raised and nurtured Sultan Suleiman with entirely local methods. He is asking for a price of 1 million Taka for Sultan Suleiman.
It is learned that Sajib Ahmed (25), a college student from Chithulia Uttorapara village in Faridpur Upazila of Pabna, has completed his BA Honours last year at Tejgaon College in Dhaka. He bought a bull worth one and a half lakh Taka three years ago. Now it has grown into a massive bull.
Sajib Ahmed told Voice7 News, "Even in intense heat, he remains calm and healthy. There are no health issues. Being a fan of the TV serial Sultan Suleiman, Sajib affectionately named the bull Sultan Suleiman. He has been raised on raw grass, hay, and bran, following entirely local feeding methods. Due to the college closure during the pandemic, he thought of farming the bull's stable.
He further added, "The current weight of the bull is around 33 maunds. Khamari Sajib is asking for a price of 1 million Taka for Sultan Suleiman. He wants to sell the bull this Eid. So, he has demanded a fair price for the bull. The price is not to go viral."
Although they have been raising the bull like a child for a long time, now the family members are worried about selling it. Even though it behaves well, it frightens strangers. Sultan Suleiman's favorite food is raw grass.
Dr. Gopesh Chandra Sarkar, the livestock officer of Faridpur Upazila, said, "Sultan Suleiman of Shahiwali and Holstein Friesian breed does not have fat in his body. Whoever buys him will profit. Such a large bull cannot be easily obtained at such a low price. Khamari Sajib hopes to get the desired price."
Dr. Gaurang Kumar Talukdar, the livestock officer of Pabna district, said, "Farmers can profit by selling cattle not only during Eid-ul-Adha but also during Eid-ul-Fitr. Big buyers are now much less. Besides, if you try to sell through social media, both risk and cost will decrease."
