nine because all but nine died
Seven.
9.If a farmer had 17 sheep in total, and all but nine died, then the answer to this riddle would be nine, since it states that all but nine have perished. It does not state that "nine died" because it has the key word "but" in it - that will often throw the riddled person off if he or she is not listening to the riddler, thinking that nine died, not eight, which is what occurred.
9.
If a farmer starts with 13 cows and all but 9 die, he would have 9 cows left. The phrase "all but 9" means everything except 9. So, if all the cows except 9 die, those 9 remaining cows are what the farmer has left.
9,000!
The farmer has eight cows, since all but that many died.
well how many sheep does a farmer have
9
If you red the question carefully, you can see that it clearly says ALL BUT 7. So, 12 sheep died, leaving 7 left.
