There is an Arab saying that a male goat will never give you milk. The saying appears to have been reversed in Saudi Arabia, when a farmer discovered that one of his male goats is yielding as much milk as a female goat.



Isam Al Oufi said he was shocked when he saw drops of milk oozing out of the male goat. He was more surprised when he milked the animal and found that it yielded as much milk as a female goat.



“This is the first time I see a male goat yielding milk…anyone who does not believe me can come to my farm and see,” he said at his farm in the western town of Taif, according to Sabq Arabic language daily.

Man held for molesting daughter



Saudi Arabia’s religious police arrested a local man on charges of molesting his teen age daughter after he was released from jail in connection with drugs.

The woman told police that her husband left the house and took six of his children to another apartment following a family dispute that was caused when she reported him to the police for taking drugs.

“After he was released from jail, he left the house and took six children, leaving one handicapped girl and an infant with their mother,” Alwatan daily said.

“He then started to molest his 16-year-old daughter, who later fled home and went back to her mother…they both reported the man to the police who arrested him.”
