So is true of this Saudi in Taif who has bought a rare two-year-old sheep for a whopping SR1 million.

The buyer, Saud Al-Tajel, also paid SR250,000 each for two younger sheep of the same breed, according to a local newspaper on Sunday. “The other two sheep are six months old,” he said.

Al-Tajel said the breed, known as Al-Hari, is guaranteed to make him good profits. They are 18 centimeters taller than normal sheep, he said.
