Re: Why are the Black Sheep Turks thus named?
in reply to a message by Martin Arnold
I am interested too. Isn't there something in the Bible about darker wooled sheep being heartier, but less valuable and white wooled sheep being more prized, but not too healthy? Like Jacob taking the darker sheep when he finally left Rachel and Leah's dad's farm. Maybe one Muslim prince got the crappy sheep and one got the good sheep...I hope somebody knows.
