Belarusian Farmer's Honest Tale: Why He's Selling His Cows

Belarusian Farmer Sells Cows and Goats Due to Economic Challenges. Grodno Region, Belarus - May 19, 2025. Igor, a farmer from the Grodno region, recently announced the sale of his cows and goats. In a video posted online, Igor explains that the decision stems from the increasing workload and limited financial gains associated with maintaining a large herd. "The additional work isn’t profitable enough," he stated in the video. Igor clarified that he's had the cows for over five years and that a recent travel break prompted the decision to downsize his farm. He plans to keep a select few goats.

The sale underscores the importance of careful financial planning and resource management in agriculture.
