Latest in series of profitable transactions involving rare sheep at farm in Nuairiya

A Saudi farmer has been offered SR one million (Dh990,000) for a rare sheep, but he has refused to sell the animal, a newspaper reported on Monday.

Fahd bin Khattaf said he had just sold a “relative” of the sheep for SR320,000 (D317,000), the latest in a series of profitable transactions involving rare sheep he has at his farm in the eastern town of Nuairiya.

“I have just received an offer to sell this ram for SR one million but I refused. I am making a lot of money from this one through breeding sheep owned by other farmers in Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Qatar,” he told Ajel newspaper.

So, not an udder. Right the first time.

He made the same mistake. Learned the difference after he milked it.

He says he’s made a lot of money “breeding” this sheep with people who pay him for it.

I guess that boat might float in the UAE - but for the time being, that's still illegal throughout most of the United States.

I'm sure that SCOTUS will remove that impediment soon enough, though. ;-)

I think that sheepdog is enjoying his work a little bit too much.

Maybe I’m missing something here, but what is so special about that sheep?
