Look. A time when a government agency worked for the people.
Anyway. As a lifestyler I am now convinced that everyone with a lawn should have a lamb each year.
In nz dollars.
$25 to buy. $25 in milk. It sits eating your lawn and sheep keep lawns really neat. Golf course neat. So no mowing.
One year later it costs $50 to kill and butcher the animal. Also lambs are well within anyone's means to butcher. Unlike beef.
You will get a box of meat. About 25kg so $4 a kilo cost. Meat that costs $30 on Ave a kilo in the shops. And unlike beef its all top quality meat (OK except the flaps. Fuk the flaps).
Sheep are trainable and friendly. Easy to fence in. Quietish too. Their poop can be ignored.
It used to be governments needed a strong people to field a strong army should the need arise. Nukes have made war obsolete and countries have turned to genociding their own people as that's a less messy way of dealing with useless eaters.
I blame Satan but each to their own
How much land area do you need for a lamb?
Unrelated, I was recently at a county fair, and the sheep with a black face and gray wool have the most gigantic nuts I have ever seen on an animal. I mean somewhere between a baseball and a grapefruit on Ann animal that weighs 50-70 lbs.
My ram. Named Rambo.
He sees you entering the paddock with him. And he eyes you up see because he has two desires. 1. To ram the sht out of you. A single flick leaves a massive leg bruise let alone a charge ending in a bunt. 2.to present his arse so that you can scratch it to which he wags his short tail like a dog.
One day my dairy farmer neighbor entered rambos paddock and failed to choose wisely. It was hilarious.
I've had 2 sets of twins and one single lamb born that s season so far. All rambos kids. I feel so blessed.
My son would love that. When we go to the petting zoo, he always wants to see the Rams 'fighting'
A quarter acre home and section would IMHO provide enough lawn for two.
Their poop can be ignored.
Um...so, when the yard is covered in sheep shit, how do they eat the grass? And what about millions of flies?
Haven't you ever been to a junkyard where they have sheep to eat the grass? Not many piles of shit, it's in dry little balls and flies don't really want to mess with it.
