If this isn’t the face of true beauty, I really don’t know what is.

I guess the folks over in Saudi Arabia agree with me because in their “Most Beautiful Goat” contest a Damascus goat — or Maaz Al Shami — named Qahr was the beauty queen who won the first place title. The goats were judged based on overall appearance and rarity.

Damascus Goats are also one of the only milk producing goat breeds used in the area.
