| The buffaloes are sprayed with letters and marked with the name of the owner who bought them. According to traders, the price of buffaloes and cows this year is “softer” than last year. The price also fluctuates depending on the fatness, thinness, size, etc. of each animal. Photo: Huy Thu |

| Many young people in Dai Son have been proficient in trading buffalo and cows since childhood, and before the age of 20, they have become skilled traders. A young trader said: "Because the market only opens 6 times a month, the Tet atmosphere at U market has been there since the beginning of December." Photo: Huy Thu |
 |
| Every U market session, thousands of buffaloes and cows are exchanged and bought and sold; hundreds of cars come to transport goods. Going to U - Dai Son market to wade through mud and buy buffaloes and cows during Tet is an unforgettable memory for many people. Photo: Huy Thu |
