English term or phrase: take the bullock credit
"With insecurity and insecure communication channels that prevent cattle traders to access to breeding areas for supplies, farmers no longer have as clients’ small local butchers who often take the bullock credit."

I find this part of the sentence puzzling...
Thank for your help

French translation:prennent (achètent) le boeuf à crédit
Explanation:
I guess there's a missing "on" before "credit": "on credit" means with an agreement to pay later.
