Bull Farming: In today’s modern era, the trend of mechanization has increased a lot. Its advantages are many, but there are also disadvantages. It has reduced the dependence of bullocks in farming, the bullocks which were earlier the real ride of the farmers, have been replaced by tractors and machines. Animal husbandry has remained limited only to cow and buffalo, although in many areas of the country, the participation of bullocks is also being increased due to innovative ideas. Some people are already making electricity while some people are producing oil with the traditional method with the help of oxen. You must have heard about the bulls of Jallikattu, but today we will tell you about the bulls race organized in Bundelkhand.
Every year this race is organized in Bundelkhand, in which many farmers and cattle herders take off their hair to participate. Before ensuring the participation of bulls in such competitions, they are well fed, so that their health remains healthy and they take agility. This year around 12 bullock carts participated and the series of a unique race continued again.

This is the special diet of bulls
The farmers said that they start their bulls on a whim even before taking them to the competition. From food and drink to maintenance, full care is taken. To make bulls more nimble and strong, cashews, raisins, almonds are ground and fed in milk. Milk is also given to these forces.
