This decrease in number is probably due to the fact that many of the
breeders had left this for Kachi.
The cattle brought to the Show were not for sale. The zemindars keep
them for dairy and agricultural purposes.
No purchasers attented the Show, hence no sales.
Twenty-eight cattle and three carts won prizes of the total value of Rs. 150.
