It was around eight in the morning when they arrived, and the market was bustling with people, with the sounds of cattle lowing, either high-pitched or deep, audible everywhere they went—of course, there were sheep as well, but that was not something Yan Fei needed to consider.
This cattle market is under the control of the Meat and Livestock Association; one could say all cattle markets are under the association's control. Ranch owners cannot directly bring cattle for trading but must rely on agents to handle the buying and selling—this has its pros and cons. The advantage is that ranch owners do not have to contact customers themselves and worry about sales, but the downside is evident: everyone has to be exploited by the agents for another round.
