Who would have thought, from a simple stable in Cilengkrang, Ujungberung District, Bandung City, national-level trust was born. A young rancher once mocked for smelling like cattle, Vandri Dwitama, is now supplying sacrificial animals for the President of Indonesia. In 2025, it’s Prabowo’s turn to buy three jumbo cows for sacrifice.

“Thank God, this is the fifth year we’ve been trusted. Now it’s Mr. Prabowo who buys. Each of these three cows weighs over one ton,&rdquo
