Breeders in Saudi Arabia hold first beauty pageant for locally raised sheep

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.
