Like saving for a certain goal, before starting to collect money to sacrifice, try to find out the price range of the sacrificial animal itself. The goal is to make it easier to calculate or plan the budget. The price of sacrificial animals itself is differentiated according to the type and weight.

For example, the cheapest goat can be obtained for around Rp1.3 million with a weight of around 18kg. While the most expensive can reach around Rp4 million with a weight of 34-36kg. Meanwhile, for local sacrificial cows weighing around 300kg, they are priced at around Rp20 million and the most expensive is the Limousin sacrificial cow weighing 1 ton, sold for around Rp100 million. The price difference can vary in each region.

In addition, the criteria for sacrificial animals must also meet the requirements in Islam. For sheep, it is recommended that they be six months old or entering the seventh month. While for goats, it is recommended that they are one year old or entering the second year. Meanwhile, for cows, it is better to be two years old or entering the third year. Make sure the animal is in good condition, because if it is defective, it cannot be used as a sacrificial animal.
