This study aims to estimate the buffalo population on Moa Island using a local cultural approach through the weaving patterns of the local community. This approach combines aspects of animal husbandry science with local cultural wisdom, where weaving patterns serve as social indicators in understanding livestock population dynamics. The research method used a combination of field surveys, in-depth interviews, observations of husbandry patterns, and symbolic interpretation of weaving motifs depicting the livestock life cycle. The results indicate that the buffalo population on Moa Island is estimated to reach 4,323 in 2025 with a growth rate of 3.5% per year. Qualitative analysis shows that weaving patterns such as "Niti Moa" and "Lolat Kerbau" reflect the livestock's grazing system and reproductive cycle. These results indicate that a culture-based approach can be used as a complementary method in estimating livestock populations in the archipelago
