Putting the sheep to work

The purpose of the sheep is to mow the lawn. Mainly in the orchard but elsewhere too. The orchard has been a bit overgrazed now as there are more of them than originally intended. So we extended the field a bit with some electric sheep mesh so they could get out on to part of the drive. They munched it down pretty  quickly so we are going to get some more mesh and expand where they can go a bit further down the drive. They cannot have access to the drive all the time as obviously we need to be able to go up and down, but we plan to put them there when we are staying in for a few days. It won't remove the need for strimming as we cannot afford enough mesh to do the whole drive (that would be a LOT!!) but it will hopefully reduce the work quite a bit. If only they could reach up and trim the trees. Maybe giraffes should be our next purchase.
