Biggest livestock deal in Kingdom
A Saudi businessman bought a white goat for a whopping SR13 million (Dh12.5 million) in the biggest livestock deal in the oil-rich Gulf Kingdom.
The owner said his male goat fetched that sum because it is one of the rarest and “most beautiful” goat breeds in the region.
“It was the largest single deal to involve the sale of a sheep in the Kingdom,” Arar newspaper said in a report from the Saudi capital Riyadh.

You may be right. I haven’t heard of any quantitative goat easing. No goat inflation.

Does it come with fishnet stockings?

Joking aside, I can see a breeder paying that for a unique animal with desirable characteristics. Goat hair is where we get
cashmere fabric, and I can see a particularly pure white having commercial value.

Saudi’s pay good money for white girls ... even if they ARE goats.

Under a CIC with military creds (if such a thing is even possible anymore), I’d still support taking these wahabbist bastards down and seizing their oil.

How long would it take him to recoup the $3.46 million.

I heard of a Muslim who was so lazy she named her goats Soap and Water.

Looks like a Saanen buck, which are all white anyway, and a crummy one at that. He’s go for about 300.00 here. Terrible topline, high in the rump and hocks too straight, just to name a few breed flaws.
