Around 200 animals have taken part in a competition to find Pakistan's most beautiful Azikheli buffalo.
Farmers and breeders gathered in Mingora, the capital of Pakistan's northern Swat district, for the three-day event to promote the breed, the Dawn newspaperreports. The event was funded by USAID, the American government's civilian foreign aid agency, which stumped up the first prize of 75,000 rupees ($715; ?558).
The money was won by Laiq Badar, who is justifiably happy with his herd. "I have 10 buffaloes of the same breed which are the source of our livelihood. Today, I am proud that my buffalo won the first prize," he told Dawn.
I can't decide who's sanity is more in question, those that enetered their buffalo in beautiful buffalo contest, those who judged them or the group that sponsored it.
