Additionally, local farmers report an increase in the prices of sheep and goats by an average of 3,000 to 4,000 soms. The cost of animals is influenced by their age, breed, and fatness.
Local residents attribute the price increase to the rising costs of compound feed, hay, and other fodder. During the winter period, expenses for keeping livestock significantly increase, which, in turn, affects market prices.
At the "Torgovy" livestock market, located in the Ak-Turpak rural district of the Kadamjai region, a three-year-old Aberdeen-Angus bull was valued at 280,000 soms on February 4, 2026. The live weight of this animal is 700 kilograms. The owner of the bull noted that if it is fed for another 2-3 months, it could reach a weight of one ton.
Local butchers also note that the demand for meat has significantly increased. According to them, at the "Torgovy" market, which opens every third Wednesday of the month, an average of 12-13 bulls are sold per day.
