About Sudanese sheep

In short: Sudanese sheep sell well in Saudi Arabia for four reasons: leaner meat, prices suited to volume compared with local breeds, availability in quantity at peak seasons, and a long trading relationship between the two countries. Demand peaks before Eid al-Adha, in Ramadan and during Hajj.
