The sales of cattle in Sierra Leone is expected to decline approaching the Muslim feast of Eidul Adha. This decline has been blamed on the Ebola outbreak that has forced authorities to ban all public gathering including the traditional sara (sacrifice) done on Eidul Adha as a fulfilment of one of the pillars of Islam. "By this time last year, many people were coming to buy sheep but this year it has been a different case. Sales has been very slow. I hope by the time the pray day finally comes, more customers will come."
