Each market day trades in hundreds of buffaloes from Bac Ha, Si Ma Cai, Muong Khuong, Ha Giang and Yen Bai. Sometimes, locals hold buffalo fights for entertainment.

For the local residents, the buffaloes are considered an important property. They often go to Can Cau market to buy strong buffaloes, which will help them in their farming, meanwhile, fertile buffaloes will be chosen to breed future herds.

Many locals also come here to seek weak buffaloes at a cheap price. They bring them home to feed them well and sell them at the same market later in the year for a higher price.
