You think the only place you can buy cow are the big markets. You are wrong! You can sell and buy outside the cow markets.
Many are into it already, and there is money in it too.
Do you know why there is so much money in cow selling? You do not know, I will tell you.
The reason is, the farmers of cattle do not eat much of meat. Our northern brothers do not eat much meat.
It therefore follows that you can buy cheap and sell at killing prices. After all, the Yorubas must send at least ten fat cows to the grave with their late fathers or mothers.
Who cares, as long as they are paying and pay they sure do.
Get a space, go to the North, and bring the cows in. Start with about five. If you do this business well for 3 years and you do not roll a jeep come and thumb my nose.
You only need a small place in a well-trafficked place for people to know that cows are sold there. You get grass to feed them until they are sold.
Please feed them well to get good prices for them.

For a start, you can get your supply from nearby and make little profit but as you progress, you will have to get to the core North.
Your service does not stop with the selling.
Transportation to the place and the slaughtering is part of your job. Of course, you make more money and make your customer happy.
One advantage here is the elimination of the intermediaries who make the price of cows to be more than reasonable at the normal cow markets.

MARKETING. Site on a major road and support with local radio advert. That is all you need. Personal touches do matter too, friends who will tell others about you.
Let your church members know you do it. You are going to be about the only person doing it in your church anyway, so no competition. Join your town’s recreation club and let them know your business.
CAVEAT You will need an honest friend who speaks Hausa fluently to buy cheaply.
I do not know why an Hausa guy cannot relocate to Akure or Oshogo and make his cool millions doing this biz.
The joker is to buy well so you can sell well. Veterinary doctors from the ministry may visit you, be nice to them.
As you are in the town, maintain high level of hygiene so as not to pollute the area as this may bring acrimony.
