Katahdin sheep

Think how much money, sweat, etc. will be saved with you nature-powered lawn mowers. We definitely want a couple when we finally have our own place for mowing, lol. DH already mows down all my flowers anyway.

When I had my hair sheep, my lawn looked like a neatly groomed English estate at all times...they even ate the weeds and grass around the fences, the base of the structures and trees, etc. Sure gave my old John Deere a good rest and saved me time, money, and effort. They didn't eat it too short....they ate it just right.

I saw a thing on TV years ago about cemeteries that had a flock of sheep to take care of the lawn.

That would be an excellent use for sheep! Though sometimes they can scratch quite vigorously against fence posts, fences, buildings, etc., so they may just knock over a headstone or two in doing that. They also like to climb...can you just see those sheep standing on the larger stones? Now, THAT would be a cemetery I wouldn't mind being sunk into...a peaceful, bucolic sheep field.

Lol, I remember a book I read to my daughter many years ago that took place somewhere in India about a sheep that ate grass in lovely patterns. They eventually put him in the park where he made mandalas that everyone enjoyed.

I raise Katahdin sheep and can't sing their praises enough. I have a lot of information about them on YouTube.

This is my latest video about how and why I halter break my lambs that I am planning on keeping.

If you have a lot of questions about them I would be happy to tell you what I have learned over the past few years keeping them. I am not a sheep expert yet, but I am working on it!
