Amidst the traditional hustle and bustle of Eid-ul-Adha preparations, a mother and daughter team have carved a niche for themselves, selling sacrificial animals at prices that are attracting significant attention. "I started small, with just five or six animals," explains the mother. "But now, Alhamdulillah, we have a sizable herd."
