From its teeth. 'Kheera' means it still has only milk teeth. 'Do dant' — two permanent front teeth — usually means a goat or sheep is about a year old and a cow or buffalo about two. Ask the seller for a clear photo of the teeth, and check them yourself before paying.

Check these in person — and ask a scholar about anything in between.

A cow, bull, buffalo or camel can be shared by up to seven people, each paying for one share. Choose an organiser you can visit: ask which animal it is, the address, the qurbani day, how the meat reaches you and whether you'll get a video of the qurbani.
