It's been hot lately and after trailing these stupid sheep around all day while they trim the foliage along the canals. So what's a guy to do? Let them eat their heads off, I'm going into the water.
Goats and sheep provide a very important service in the countryside. They eat extra vegetation that grows along the canals, they eat the trimmings from gardens and orchards and they eat the stems from harvested crops while aerating the soil with their small feet and fertilising it. The whole world is an ecosystem.
I came to Egypt as the wife of an Egyptian/Canadian businessman and the mother of our children in the late 80's. My husband is no longer with us, the children are pursuing careers abroad, but Egypt is still my home, albeit, a rural rather than urban one. You can reach me at msgabbani at gmail.com

I guess they have to look for feed somewhere
