How do I set the right price?
Price it by milk yield, breed, age, pregnancy status, and body condition. For a dairy buffalo, a good Murrah usually sells higher than ordinary local animals because it gives strong milk and good fat. In your area, a healthy milking buffalo with steady yield and good udder can often be priced in the higher bracket, while a dry or weak animal should be kept lower. If the animal is pregnant, in early lactation, or giving more milk, ask more. If it has mastitis, lameness, poor appetite, or thin body, reduce the price. Put the asking price a little above your minimum so there is room for bargaining. If you want, list it on Pashushala and compare similar animals before fixing the final rate.
