The Drovers Cattle Exchange is a popular website that allows beef and dairy farmers to list cattle for sale.
The cattle exchange provides marketplaces for dozens of different breeds of cattle and a wealth of other information but does not include a way to download this data into an accessible format. This scrip when run will compile information from the first page of cattle listings for each breed into a txt file.
You can also check out the r/cattleexchange subreddit which uses a python based bot to post random listings taken from the cow-bell script. The image at the top of the readme is a post on the subbreddit.
