Every Sunday, hundreds of farmers in northwest Jharkhand, and their cattle in varying sizes, colours and breeds, make their way to Pathar village in Palamu.

Multiple factors have contributed to a surge in the fodder prices that have jumped three times within one year across several states in north India. From devastating heatwaves affecting production of wheat (later used as fodder), scarcity of water, farmers' preference for mustard crop, and and inter-state ban on fodder movement, an unprecedented fodder crisis is forcing cattle rearers to sell their cattle at throwaway prices, or abandon them. Here's a ground report from Rajasthan, the state with the second highest cattle population in the country.
