Kurdish Proverb

BARKHI NER BO SARBRINA

This means “a male sheep is for sacrifice.” A farmer will not keep a male sheep for too long. For every 10-15 female sheep, he will keep one male. Every year females give birth to more sheep, but as soon as the males grow a little, they will be sold or slaughtered. In my country, this is true even for human beings.
