"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
Other readers commented thusly:
"Saudi birth control - they make an "x" on the sheep that kick."
Sounds like a joke to me. "Of all things you had to go out and pick the ugliest one."

Um... we have farm shows that pick the best of the breed, so what is so different about this?? It's a Bedouin tradition, and they're judging best of breed. What's the issue?
Maybe it was just the media making it out to be a "beauty contest". But the last comment there quoted did give me a bit of pause.

Breeding for perpetuating good lines and making the species better = good!
Sheep being "beautiful"I don't know.
I'm all for appriciating a quality product but this MAY be going a bit too far lol.
RICHARD....where are ewe? (badum tiss)
"PLease don't try to pull the wool over my eyes", he stated sheepishly.
I am having had a ba-a-a-a-a-a-d reaction to this story.I think that the Bedoins are being made out to be the sacrificial lambs in this case.
Why don't you all flock off and behave yourselves?
What do you call a mean sheep?
WOOLY BULLY, WOOLY BULLY, WOOLY BULLY, WOOLY BULLY, WOOLY BULLY, Watch it now!!!!

He could have been describing a prize horse.
When you are looking for a specific breed, or traits in that breed, you want to buy what pleases your eye. I don't see an issue with it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, remember.
Oh, I did grow up on a farm where we raised sheep, among other animals, but I wouldn't have called the sheep WE raised beautiful. As lambs they were cute.
This is the Nejdi Sheep. And I think it's got really nice hair on it, nothing like the sheep we see over here. Facially, not very pretty, looks more like a goat to me, but that's my take on her.
