Sallahalli is also home to a significant population of dairy farmers, who raise cows and buffaloes for milk production.

The village has a rich cultural heritage, with many residents participating in traditional festivals and celebrations. One of the most notable festivals is the Dasara festival, which is celebrated with great enthusiasm and involves the installation of a large effigy of Ravana, the demon king from the Ramayana epic. The effigy is then set on fire in a grand procession, symbolizing the victory of good over evil.

Efforts are being made to address these issues and improve the overall quality of life for the residents.
