Solitary sheep

I'm reading Genesis at the minute, and I got to the bit where Jacob sent a gift to appease his brother Esau: 
🐐 200 female goats, 20 male goats, 
🐑 200 female sheep, 20 male sheep, 
🐪 30 female camels with their babies, 
🐄 40 cows, 10 bulls, 
🫏 20 female donkeys, and 10 male donkeys.

It made me think of the time we did that story at Sunday School and one small boy started giggling.

Because, he said, "180 female sheep wouldn't be able to get married".
