The Awassi

The Awassi 6"x 6" Acrylic Portrait

I was fortunate enough to be able to travel to Qatar a few months a go and visit a large sheep farm outside the city of Doha. The farm raises both sheep and goats. Since I raised sheep myself, I found this new breed of fat tail sheep to be very interesting.

They are the primary sheep used in the middle east and are well adapted to the weather in that region. If you are interested in them you should google them. They have a number of physical abilities that make them uniquely suited to the desert.
