Greetings healthy and happy,
Thank you @dswigle as the host, this time I will share the experience of visiting the Goat market.
This place is in the City of Sukabumi, West Java.
Located on the outskirts of the City, this market provides goats and sheep. These two types of animals are similar but different, if Indonesian people call these animals goats.
Even though they sell goat and sheep, this animal marker operates on Wednesday and Saturday twice a week. The traders come from within the City and outside the City which is quite for away.
There are about 30 kilometers to 70 kilometers, they come at night and sell until the affternoon. Like wise, those buy from outside the City. There are those who buy goats and sheep which will later be resold,or buyers for their own needs can also be sold as vegetable soup, or grilled satay food,or made into goat rolls.
Goats and sheep are two different types or animal species, at first glance these two animals are almost the same. What distinguisnes it is easy to find is in the hair of goats and sheep.
The hair on goats, is straight and does not need to be shaved,while sheep have curly hair and are usually shaved when it is thick and can be made into wool.
This animal market is open from evening to evening every wednesday and saturday. Buyers from the City of Sukabumi are also consumers from the Bogor, Jakarta,Cianjur, Bekasi areas.
Usually they buy for resale, this animal market can accommodate more than 300 head, using iron stakey,same goats are tied so they don't fall off. Consumers usually by goats or sheep, some buy 10 or more, transportation by open car or pickup vehicle.
Consumers by this live stock by calculating the weigh of the goat, or what is commonly called the price of live goat of sheep. Usually these weigh about 20 kilograms to 40 kilograms in the market the price of goat meat in around Rp 120,000,- rupiah/kilograms and the price of lamb, is a round Rp 150.000,- rupiah/kilograms.
The difference between mutton and lamb, mutton has a texture that is tougher than lamb, has a thicker texture and tends to be rough. Lamb has a soffer texture, doesnt have a strong scurry smell like mutton. The price of meat in general is still quite inexpensive.
Thank you very much.
