According to information from traders, on February 8, this particular lamb became the most expensive among the sheep and goats presented. A farmer from the region brought five lambs, among which two were four months old, one was seven months old, and the other two were eight months old. The seven-month-old lamb was valued at 30 thousand dollars, while the four-month-olds were priced at 1,000 dollars each, and the eight-month-old was valued at 70 thousand soms.
A Turmush correspondent found out that the lambs were raised by 48-year-old Kanat Borombaev, who lives in the village of Sary-Bulak in the Jayil district.
“The lamb valued at 30 thousand dollars is the grandson of a ram named Eba, owned by local farmers. The name 'Eba' translates from Kyrgyz as '18'. This name is likely related either to the year of its birth — 2018, or to its initial valuation of 18 thousand dollars. On the maternal side, it comes from the Korabyl breed. My farm breeds well-known lines of rams such as Korabyl, Sharpey, Shirokiy, Tornado, and others,” the farmer noted.
However, Kanat mentioned that at the market, his lambs were being offered too low a price. “For the lamb valued at 30 thousand dollars, they offered only 10 thousand, but I refused,” he added.
Kanat also shared that back in 2005, he brought and developed quality rams from the best farms in the city of Kant, but sold everything in 2017. Since 2019, he has resumed working with the Arashan breed, purchasing livestock and continuing to develop his farm,” Borombaev said.
