You've heard of long-distance adoptions? Well, now you can become a long-distance shepherd by  adopting a Sardinian sheep. You not only get to choose the name of your lamb but will receive a leather collar bearing an inscription, an adoption certificate with a photo of your sheep, and a hand-knit little something made from its wool. But wait, there's more: five pounds of vacuum-packed pecorino sardo (eight different kinds of sheep's cheese, all from Sardinia) divided into two annual shipments. All for only $520.

Sertl's Note: Actually, take your time. At these prices, we doubt that anything's flying out the barn door.
