Pilgrims advised to reduce activities outside Arafah tents. Residents of Huntara Mandiri in Kapalo Koto village, Pauh district, Padang, have received five sacrificial cows from various donors. The assistance was warmly welcomed by the Huntara residents, who number around 100 households. Kapalo Koto village head Afriwarman stated that the sacrificial cows came from multiple sources, including West Sumatra Police (Polda Sumbar), Tangan Di Atas (TDA) community, Indarung Customary Village Council (KAN), Andalas University, and Telkomsel. Deputy Mayor of Padang Maigus Nasir attended the cow handover on Tuesday (26/5). “Alhamdulillah, our Huntara residents have received five sacrificial cows for this year’s Eid al-Adha. This assistance is immensely meaningful for our community,” Afriwarman said. He added that the Telkomsel donation handover was also attended by the Deputy Mayor. He noted that the attention from various parties reflects concern for Huntara residents. (H-3) The cows, covered in mud, had their legs stuck and were unable to move. Residents’ attempts to evacuate the Limousin cattle were unsuccessful. Bontang Mayor Neni Moerniaeni delivered a sacrificial cow donated by President Prabowo Subianto at Al Hijrah Grand Mosque on Tuesday (26/5). President Prabowo Subianto distributed 1,098 premium sacrificial cows to 552 regions and Islamic boarding schools for Eid al-Adha 1447 H. Sacrificial cow prices at Ciwareng Livestock Market in Purwakarta surged by Rp3 million per head on the eve of Eid al-Adha 2026 due to dwindling stock and high demand. President Prabowo donated 18 cattle sourced from local farmers across 17 districts and cities in Southeast Sulawesi for sacrificial purposes. The slaughter of sacrificial animals is one of the most anticipated moments for Muslims during Eid al-Adha celebrations. UNAIR expert Dr. drh. Nusdianto Triakoso shared stress-free slaughter guidelines, including Burley technique and ASUH principles, to ensure optimal meat quality. According to Diky, his organisation has urged local sacrificial animal committees to provide waste management facilities such as segregated waste banks. According to data from Sumedang Regency’s Fisheries and Livestock Department as of 20 May 2026, monitoring has been conducted at 77 sacrificial animal sales locations across the regency. Through these initiatives, companies hope the benefits of sacrificial animals will be widely felt by the public, particularly needy families.
