Deohata Animal Market, Mirzapur
Hello Ladies & Gentlemen. Welcome to steem-atlas. Everyone reviews some employment or public place in different places. I will be reviewing a different place today. The review I am going to share with you today is the traditional cattle and goat market place of our village. I went there today and captured all the activities from morning to afternoon to create a post. Deohata under Mirzapur upazila of Tangail district is a populated and important area where a large cattle and goat market is held every week.
This market is equally popular not only among Mirzapur but also among the people of the surrounding upazilas and districts. The busyness and crowd of this market increases several times in view of Eid-ul-Adha. The affordable price of cattle, different types of animals, safe transactions and modern management have made the market a center of trust.
All public demand
The main reason for the popularity of Deohata Hat is the abundance and variety of cattle and goats here. Numerous wholesalers and farmers from the northern part of the country, especially from Sirajganj, Pabna, Kushtia, Chuadanga and Meherpur districts, bring cattle and goats.
Local farmers also bring their livestock for sale. Buyers can buy good quality cattle and goats here at relatively low prices. Apart from this, due to the improved communication system, many people from Dhaka, Gazipur and Narayanganj come to Deohata Hat to buy animals.
Bangladeshi bull
In this market, indigenous breeds of cattle such as Red Chittagong, Nakkata, Desi Cow etc. are available, as well as Indian Sahiwal, Gir and Sindhi breeds of cattle. During the Qurbani, the demand for fat, fresh and medium-sized indigenous cattle is the highest.
Indigenous cattle are still the first choice of most buyers. Considering their health, appearance and environmental friendliness, indigenous cattle are a symbol of trust for many. These cows are usually raised by farmers and ranchers themselves and are less at risk due to their high disease resistance. Desi beef is also relatively tasty and fat-free, so its demand is highest.
Price | 50,000-150,000 BDT | 3333 STEEM approx |

Australian bull
In the past few years, Australian cattle have become a popular addition to Bangladeshi markets. Although they are primarily a foreign breed, they are raised on farms in the country.
Australian cattle are generally large in size, have shiny skin, and are quite attractive in terms of health. They have a high meat content and are relatively expensive in the market. Australian cattle are popular with those looking for a slightly different and larger-sized cow.
Price | 1,80000-2,50000 BDT | 12000-16666 STEEM approx |

American bull
American Brahman cows or similar improved breeds are supplied to Deohata Haat from some large farms. Their bodies are very muscular and attractive and their weight is very high, so buyers with high budgets prefer these cows for Qurbani.
However, since this breed of cow requires special care and environment to raise, the price is sometimes a little higher. Still, there is a special appreciation for American cows because of their beauty and physical attractiveness.
Price | 2,00000-2,40000 BDT | 13,333-16,000 STEEM approx |

Bangladeshi goat breed
Desi goats are the most common and popular breed of goats in Bangladesh. Their bodies are usually small or medium in size and are black, brown, white or mixed in color.
Desi goats are relatively easy to raise, have good disease resistance and can adapt to any weather. Their meat is most in demand by buyers during the Qurbani season because it is tasty and dense.
Price | 5000-15,000 BDT | 333-1000 STEEM approx |

Ram goat breed
People from far and wide come to this market to sell their favorite domesticated goats. Among the goats, the Ram goat is particularly notable, which is large and muscular in size, making it easy to catch the eye at the market.
Ram goats are usually black or gray in color, and their height and body structure are much wider and longer than other breeds of goats. Their bone structure is quite strong and the meat is also very dense and delicious. Many people buy Ram goats for the purpose of sacrifice because of their magnificent appearance.
Price | 17000-20000 | 1133-1333 STEEM approx |

Tutabari goat breed
On the other hand, a special type of goat is the big Ear Tutabari goat. Their biggest feature is their long drooping ears and soft wool like cotton. This breed is very attractive to look at and is usually white or pale in color.
Many people prefer this breed of goat for its beauty and unique appearance. This type of goat is very popular with children. Although the price of Tutabari goat is usually a little higher, its demand in the market is increasing day by day due to its strong structure and beautiful appearance.
Price | 18000-25000 USD | 1200-1666 STEEM approx |

Activities in the rain
Although the conditions at the market are quite challenging on rainy days, the Deohata Market authorities are prepared. Canopies or tarpaulins are provided at the animal keeping areas so that the animals do not get wet.
Bamboo platforms or temporary roads are made for ease of movement in the mud. Sometimes, irrigation pumps are also used to drain water. As a result, there is not much difficulty in the movement of buyers and sellers at the market. However, we were stuck because it rained a lot in the afternoon and water accumulated, so we were stuck in one place.
Market management and taxes
The cattle and goat market management is very strict. Although they do not invest or spend much money, a modern token system is in place for buying and selling animals at Deohata market. A specific numbered token is given for each cow and goat so that both the buyer and the seller can transact safely and securely.
The haat authorities also issue a receipt for each transaction so that the price determination and the accounts payable and receivable are clear. This token system has increased trust between both the buyer and the seller. The tax token contains the name of the person who bought the animal and the name of the person who sold it, so the documents are kept for everyone.

Since I myself went to this cattle market today, I have an idea about the market situation. Considering all aspects, it can be understood that Mirzapur Deohata Cattle and Goat Market is not just a cattle market, it has now become an important part of the economic and social life of the region.
With a diverse supply of cattle and goats, a secure token system, adequate storage space and a comfortable environment even in the rain, this market is a symbol of reliability for both buyers and sellers. Various breeds of animals like domestic cows, ram goats, tutabari and domestic goats make this market different from any other market. If the management continues to improve, Deohata Market can be operated on a larger scale in the future and become one of the best cattle markets in the country.

It seems that cow should be written in the mentioned place. In both cases, you have written the tax on goats, but the prices are different. I think you meant to write the tax per cow here.
