Prices Remain Grounded:
Sheep traders confirm prices are within reasonable ranges (KD 130 – KD 170) depending on factors like size, breed, and origin. They attribute inflated online prices to black market speculation and auctions unrelated to Eid sacrifices.
Transparency, Not Panic:
Experts urge caution against price exaggeration, emphasizing that realistic figures are readily available. Sacrifice-ready sheep are priced at KD 120 and up, with some variation.
Auction Antics:
High price tags circulating online are often linked to auctions for breeding stock, not Eid sacrifices. Experts advise disregarding these inflated figures.
Alternatives Abound:
Local Naimi sheep are scarce, but Iranian Shafali raised in Kuwait offer a readily available, high-quality alternative for Eid sacrifices, priced around KD 140-150.
Market Matters:
Sheep traders call for improved services at the Kabd market. They request Ministry of Social Affairs oversight, a designated Kuwaiti auctioneer, and a more organized approach to fodder distribution.
So, Eid celebrants, breathe easy! Reliable sheep for your sacrifice are available at reasonable prices. Just be wary of online rumors and seek out reputable sellers at the Kabd market.
