Enlisted below are the operations summary:
- The Lahore Division Cattle Market Management Company was established under the Companies Ordinance 1984 with a mission to modernize the current Cattle Markets of Lahore Division. The LDCMMC was tasked with the elimination of the commission mafia and giving the best possible services to the general public and facilitating them in buying and selling. Currently, the LDCMMC is functioning under the vision of the Honorable Chief Minister Punjab Mian Muhammad Shahbaz Shareef to provide free basic services to the general public.

Facilities offered include modern sheds, cemented khurli’s, a dispensary, 24 hours water supply through water storage tanks, a restaurant, a dormitory, tea stalls, fodder shops, an auction ring and other facilities which every Model Cattle Market must possess.
- LDCMMC performed the tendering process of the restaurant, tea stalls, fodder shops and other facilities very efficiently. Shahpur Kanjran Cattle Market of Lahore is a traditional Cattle Market which was working under the traditional, cruel contractor dominated system. After taking over the Management of Lahore Shahpur Market, LDCMMC identified lacking services and facilities.

These contracts generated revenues of approximately 42 million PKR. This was an important step towards a self-sustained Cattle Market Model. After one month, LDCMMC found out that 7 contractors were involved in traditional malpractices. As a result, contracts worth 22 million PKR were cancelled.
