There are approximately 300 horses. Like in the…

Today at the cattle market in Bodzentyn are a lot of trucks but fewer animals than we expected. Our team counts about 600-650 animals, but we expected more because it’s the last market before Christmas. We observe only a few cows with overgrown hooves and a few emaciated animals.
