First it was camels. Now Saudi Arabia has held its first "beautiful goat" pageant. Owners of pedigree "Najdi" goats from around the Gulf region converged on Riyadh this week, hoping to win the prize for top male and female goat, following in the footsteps of lucrative camel competitions which have taken off in recent years. "The Najdi goat is a pure national product like nothing else in the world," said Sheikh Faisal al-Saadoun, a leading Saudi breeder who organized the show. "They are different in terms of beauty, shape and how eye-catching they are." Advertisement The goats are named after the central Najd region of Saudi Arabia, where the goats have a distinctive high nose bridge and shaggy hair with a fine, silky quality. They were given a thorough shampoo for the show, according to the official website (wwwl.al-nawader.com) which displayed the winners. Most of the goats in the competition were bred from one star goat, Burgan (Volcano), from Saadoun's stable and have been exported around the Gulf in trade worth millions of riyals. Burgan was not on display at the show as the owners' fear he could be afflicted by the "evil eye". But that did not stop offers from the Qatari royal family to buy him. Saadoun sold dozens of goats from his stable for at least 100,000 riyals ($26,000) each at the show, adding to some 8 million riyals he has made over the years breeding from Burgan. "This male goat is different. He is historic and he has contributed to developing the Najdi goat," he told Reuters, as poets recited odes in praise of the goats over loud speakers. The winner in the male category was a son of Burgan with a value of 450,000 riyals.

Alas, love at first sight … wedding to follow. ;-)
Do they stone “raped” sheep there?
“eye catching”..............yeah, boy
After it is found out they raped the goat, will they stone it to death, like they did the little girl last week?
These animals are primitive and barbaric(not the goats).
LOL!
....and these are the people we buy billions of dollars worth of petrol every year and hold our economy hostage.
As my dear blessed mother would have said; “Mon Dieu et mon Seigneur, c’est pas drole!”
***Do they stone “raped” sheep there?***
No. They sell them to another village for food as they are forbidden to eat their fu-—ings.
Camels are people too. How dare they create such bias.
Whats the deal with the latest Arby’s commercial where the guy has to marry a goat for loosing a bet and the other guys says, “She's hot !”
Way to weird.
Someone has entirely too much time on their hands. Funny though.
They are trying to wrap up that .002% male muslim bracket
I lost my girl but I still have ewe? Oh wait that’s a Scottish thing, never mind...
hahha, must resist. I see I am not alone.
After homosexuality, sex with multiples, and sex with children - the final frontiers for the pervs is sex with animals and sex with the dead. (Don't laugh at that last one - we have a level-2 sex offender released to live in my county who broke into a mortuary - twice - to have sex with dead elderly women.)
