HYDERABAD: Come Friday, people of Hyderabad can witness Donald Trump performing stunts and dance to the local folk tunes on the streets in full public view. However, the Trump doing all this here will be an 18-month-old bull from Chevella. Born to a Champion super bull, named Maharaja. Trump has already become a crowdpuller at Super Dairy Farm in Musheerabad.
Unlike other champion bulls Yuvraj and Virat, who visited the city for Sadar festivities last year, Trump and Maharaja are teetottlers. “Donald Trump and Maharaja are fed with organic feed only and their semen is sold in Sri Lanka and America,” said Mukkamala Koteswara Rao, the caretaker of the two super bulls.
The presence of huge and mighty bulls, all groomed to be flaunted on the streets of Hyderabad for ‘Sadar’, the bull carnival, has turned the stable at Super Dairy Farm in Musheerabad into an exhibition of sorts. With four super bulls lined up at the stalls built exclusively for them in the run-up to Sadar festivities on Friday, people from across the city are thronging the farm.
While enquiries for bulls’ semen are pouring in from across the world, stable owners are hoping to sell around 3,000 straws a month. The sale of the semen per 0.25 ml of straw costs anywhere between Rs 300 and Rs 500.Apart from these two, Shehenshah from Hyderabad, Raja and Dara from Punjab along with six other bulls will also take part in the Sadar festival.
People of the Yadav community have made preparations for the procession that will be taken from Yellareddyguda to Ameerpet main road.
“Since making the bulls walk during the entire procession is a difficult thing, we have a special trolley made for the bull to either sit or stand on. A total amount of Rs 5 lakh will be spent on the day with special Jalna band coming in from Pune,” said N Mahesh Yadav, organiser of the event.
While it is widely believed that the bulls are given alcohol, the stable owners deny the claim. They assert that a strong healthy diet is the secret of the bulls’ huge size and not alcohol consumption.
State fest
Buffaloes are decorated with flowers, horns painted and paraded through the streets, accompanied by a crowd dancing to the music. It will be celebrated as a state festival from this year.
