We did not have shepherd’s shelters. The man would sleep by a rock. This shelter thing is a very special thing for the shepherd; it has electricity charging the man’s phone and keeping lamps on. It even has a bath inside. Our shepherds are very happy. Would those who see this want to become a shepherd or not? Shepherds are now in competition asking me “please bring one for us too”. All shepherds, be it for cattle or goat&sheep, they want one. The more shelters we have, the more shepherds we will have; and livestock husbandry improves, right?
