A flock of 200 sheep has been seized by Greek tax authorities and is to change hands in an electronic auction. The single-member First Instance Court in Grevena, West Macedonia, gave the green light for the forceful auctioning of the animals.
The sheep owner owes €3,848.59 to Social Security Fund and a check of 50 euros.
First price estimation for each sheep has been calculated at 60 euros.
Starting point for the flock is set at €6,000.
Until the auction takes place on February 27th, the breeder has been appointed as a guardian-keeper and responsible for not losing the flock.

Well, if that’s the case, then I hope the government is paying him well to look after what are now their sheep. Maybe he’ll earn something towards his debt? Maybe even enough to keep some of the sheep? Let’s hope.
