Turkish Competition Measures Love Between Sheep and Shepherd
- 7 years ago
Do sheep love their shepherd? An 800-year-old competition in Turkey aims to determine if they do.
Shepherds have to cross the Büyük Menderes River and hope their sheep will follow them. The shepherd who can get his sheep to cross the fastest wins.
This year, 49 shepherds tested their bond with the flock — but only one can be the most beloved shepherd in the Turkey.
