Somalia, Hargeisa, 09 October 2013 Hargeisa Livestock Market where animals, and especially goats and sheep, are purchased for local consumption and for export. Sheep and goats are brought from around the country by farmers and small traders (who buy direct from farmers and take the animals to market) to sell to brokers who then take the animals to Berbera Port to send to Saudi Arabia and surrounding countries. The market is particularly busy in the period leading up to The Haj. Prices are usually negotiated by brokers on behalf of the buyers and sellers. They use a system of holding fingers to indicate the price they are willing to accept. Each finger represents a different number as does each knuckle. Negotiations are made in secret under a scarf that covers the hands of the brokers. The average selling price is between US$75-90 for a sheep or goat depending on weight and how fat the animal is. On a busy day thousands of animals can be sold. Sometimes families will come to the market to buy animals for their personal consumption or for breeding. Business women also come to the market to purchase animals for slaughter to sell in the local meat market. Robin Hammond / NOOR
