Amazing Graze: Pa. school district turns lawn care over to sheep
Pa. school district turns lawn care over to sheep
Posted: Jun 13, 2011 8:08 AM EDT Updated: Jun 14, 2011 10:19 AM EDT CARLISLE, Pa. - A central Pennsylvania school has a woolly plan to keep its grass neatly trimmed. The Carlisle Area School District says it can save up to $15,000 a year by turning over some landscaping chores to sheep. The Patriot-News of Harrisburg reports the district is using the sheep to keep the grass near its solar panels neatly trimmed. The sheep nibble grass in the morning and take refuge in the shade of the panels in the afternoon. With the food already on hand, the district need only supply the sheep with water. A middle school assistant principal is providing the sheep. Eric Sands says he's still trying to figure out exactly how many sheep he needs to use to keep the area clear. ___ Information from: The Patriot-News, The Patriot-News updates, stories, columnists, blogs, photos and video for Harrisburg, Cumberland, Dauphin and the rest of Central Pennsylvania - PennLive.com |

Wow, PA in the news for something remotely sane?
 My mom has a few sheep as "pets" that she keeps around the house to help trim some of the 13 acres they have. Those suckers can munch some serious grass. Scott
