That’s true, but they are more efficient and cost effective than running gas powered mowers around solar panels. The added bonus of not needing to purchase feed during parts of the year is also a nice plus
Is it not also a great way to achieve harmony with life on earth and our technological advancements? Seems pretty cool that we can farm energy, while providing space and shade for other life as well.
I’m in favor but I’m just not sure that sheep maintenance will be any less trouble and expense than mower maintenance. Mowers don’t get contagious diseases, break out of their fences and get on the highway, or have trouble giving birth at 3:00 a.m.
I think meat is the only way to make money from sheep. That and the fact they make more sheep.
The wool is mostly inconvenient unless you’re a third world farmer. Clarkson’s Farm found it cost £1.50 per sheep to have them shaved, but the wool was only worth about £1.20.
Sheep aren’t zero maintaince at all though.

So? Op didn’t say they were and it isn’t even relevant anyway

You can sell their wool for profit. So you gain profit from the sheep, profit from the solar panels, and save money on mowing.
You’ve completely missed the point.
