Too Sexy for Their Hooves
In Saudi Arabia, where women are not allowed to leave their homes without covering every inch of skin, they held a beauty pageant recently.
For goats: Guess Who’s On the Catwalk. (Hat tip: GoatGuy, always on the lookout for goat news.)
RIYADH, 19 September 2004 — Goat fanciers turned out in force to admire and bid for beautiful goats showing off on the catwalk at a weekend festival and auction of Al-Shami goats in Riyadh.
They came from all over the Gulf. Abdullah Al-Asaker, from Kuwait, said the Al-Shami breed of goat was introduced to Kuwait from Saudi Arabia. He estimated the investment in Al-Shami goat breed at more than SR20 million.
As prices kept rising at the auction, goat breeders were jubilant that goat breeding after all was as profitable as camel breeding.
