President Joko Widodo or who is familiarly called Jokowi this year returned to sacrifice in Palembang. This time the Jokowi sacrificial cow is Javanese white cow type, aka PO and has a weight of 1 ton.
The cattle owner, Akeng, admitted that Jokowi's cattle were ordered by a special envoy from Jakarta. The sacrificial Javan white cow was more than 5 years old and in good health and fat.
"Some time ago a special team of President Jokowi came directly from Jakarta. Yesterday, agreed to buy PO-type cattle to sacrifice in Palembang," Akeng told reporters at the Kenten farm, Banyuasin, Thursday (08/08/2018).
According to Akeng, the sacrificial cow weighs 1,050 kg or 1 ton more. Cows are priced at USD 5,357, - million and purchased without bargaining between the two.
Before the agreement occurred, the messenger team was known to have checked the cows at the Akeng farm. There are 6 special doctors who check cow health.
"There were 6 veterinarians yesterday who came to check their health. All the bodies of the cattle were examined and finally they were agreed to by a Javanese white cow for USD 5,357,- ." Akeng added.
Still according to Akeng, based on the narrative of this year's special team, Jokowi prefers Javanese cattle to sacrifice in several regions. But there is no known reason for the selection of Javanese cattle.
"He said this year, Pak Jokowi chose Javan cattle, the same as last year who chose Simmental Brahman cattle. Maybe because of Jokowi, the Javanese tribe," Akeng said, laughing slightly.
"This sacrificial cow is planned to be cut off at the Taqwa Mosque, where the sacrificial cow was slaughtered last year. Later one day before the H-Day will be brought there," he concluded.
