HOW DO I MOW THE LAWN WITHOUT GAS?

"Sheep Replace Lawn Mowers In Turin, Italy Parks Saving City $48,000

Turin, Italy (AHN) -- Sustainable lawn mowing is making a

come back in tight economic times. City officials in Turin, Italy

expect to save about $48,000 this year by using a herd of

sheep to trim municipal lawns instead of having gardeners

mow the lawns.

It's not a new idea; sheep were originally used to keep

parks mowed when Europeans invented country parks

in the 18th Century." (source)

Mowing the lawn with no gasoline, oil or machinery is easy.

Choose a low maintenance, small breed of sheep like

Cascade Farmstead sheep! They will eat your grass while

replenishing the soil with natural fertilizer, and provide you

with entertainment, lambs if you want them, and a mild

flavored meat if you want it.

You don't need to shear CFS; the wool falls off by itself!

You don't need an elaborate barn; a small 3-sided shed will suffice.

You don't need to assist during lambing season; they produce lambs without help.

Cascade Farmstead sheep are small (just knee-high!), easy to manage, and mature quickly.

Cascade Farmstead Sheep are an environmentally friendly way to keep the grass cut while conserving gas and oil, and help lower your grocery bill by providing healthy meat for your table.
