How do you pay the zakah on sheep?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is better for the zakah on sheep: to give meat, or to sell them and give the value in charity?

Answer:
Meat is not sufficient. One must give a live sheep. For forty sheep, one sheep is given. If he does not find one, he gives its value in its place. He gives its value if he does not find one, but if he finds one, he gives it itself.
