Everyone knows that sheep are usually raised for fur or meat. But things are different from in Senegal, a sheep here costs the same as a Porsche Cayenne, sells a sheep, it is quite possible to buy an apartment. On the billboards here, they often write: "Buy a car and take a sheep as a gift." However, sheep are valuable in Senegal, they are still slaughtered, eaten here, sacrificed on the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Fitr.
Laduma sheep
appeared in the 1970s of the last century, they were bred from Mauritanian and Malian
breeds. Laduma grow to a height of 1.20 and weigh less than two hundred
kilograms. Wealthy Senegalese often pay between $10,000 and $80,000 for an animal.
The value of each animal is determined by the shape and symmetry of the horn. Prices also vary depending on the size and weight of the sheep and the symmetry of the testicles. Keeping an expensive pet costs no less than taking care of an expensive car. We need special food, veterinarians, vitamins and hire specialists to take care of their sheep.
