BENGALURU: We all have heard of e-commerce companies and the variety of products that they sell in order to acquire more and more customers but have you ever heard of selling cattle using e-commerce? I doubt it. Braham Singh, a resident of Muzaffarnagar's Khatauli town decided to place an ad for his cow on the internet and someone from far off Karnataka bought it for Rs 60,000, according to indiatimes.com.

Braham Singh himself is surprised that he would get paid a great deal of cash for his cow. He has a little family-run undertaking and chose to offer one of his five dairy animals. He is actually shocked to find that there were numerous takers for dairy animals on the web, more than willing to pay what he had anticipated.

He was getting offers from all over the country and the individual who at long last wrapped everything up was from Karnataka and for 60,000 bought his dairy animal. There are nearly about 3,500 advertisements for cows, buffaloes, goats and sheep in OLX and Quikr. People are increasingly discovering the benefit of trading animals on the internet. For e.g. Salim Qureshi, who owns a dairy on the UP-Uttarakhand border, says his cattle-trading business has grown manifold ever since he started trading online.

He started putting ads on OLX and Quikr about two years ago and since then he has placed around 300 to 400 ads on the internet and the response has been overwhelming. This system for purchasing cattle may prove to be a bad deal in some instances because unless you see the animal, you can’t perceive how sound it is and how it carries on. Unless you encounter each one of those things actually, it would not be reasonable to purchase dairy cattle.
