Sheep and Lambs Eat City Parks
#83. Sheep and Lambs Eat City Parks
©Daniele Hosmer Zambelli
The city of Turin saved 30,000 euros by using sheep to mow lawns at three public parks. In Pasture in the City, cows were also used during the experimental first year, but because they produced too much manure they have not returned. Traffic is diverted for the herd of sheep to enter the city. After the animals are rotated through fenced-off parks for two months, they return to the Alps for the remainder of the summer. The sheep aerate and fertilize their temporary pastures.

I wanna buy a sheep as pet!
nice! I've seen some similar in Frankfurt am Main at least 8 years ago. sheeps eating the grass alongside the river. to me it was a revelation at that time but now wonder if it is safe for the sheeps to eat such a polluted grass..
Love it! Goats munch grass in the hills of Oakland, Calif too. It's a wonderful way to cut out spewing lawnmowers and bring a bit of the farm into the city for us all to enjoy. More!

This is an excellent idea also for saving money.

I've got an idea: why not save some 50000 $ by using a herd of lizards to clear the city from tiny insects?
