quote: ThinkProgress flags an odd story out of Pennsylvania, where Republican officials have already slashed education funding. In one area, cash-strapped schools are now using sheep, instead of lawnmowers, for lawn care. Rather than spend money on cutting grass, the Carlisle School District has brought in 7 Romney sheep to tend the fields. “They’ve done a good job so far,” says Superintendent John Friend. The sheep come free of charge, since they belong to the principal of the middle school. Friend estimates that they will save the district about $15,000 this year in mowing costs. http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/political-animal/2011_08/when_schools_are_forced_to_rel031763.php# And people say that Republicans aren't green or eco friendly.

Sheep and goats are commonly used to graze hilly areas of Southern California that are too expensive for machines to get into.

They taste better than lawn tractors too.

Course, the repubs didn't do it, the school superintendent did. Of course, I am sure your title was tongue in cheek

Actually, while I cannot agree with cutting Education funding, I do agree with using live stock like sheep and goats to graze the lawns.

Im sure the chap who used to mow the grass and feed his kids is ecstatic to lose his job to romney sheep. Maybe he should take his unemployment and go and buy some sheep to rent out to other areas, free grazing. No poop removal? in a school area?, what about predators? what about traffic problems, what is the repalcement cost, cos you know them suckers are gonna get stolen by the poor for meat and wool, what about paying for security? Who cares for them, who looks after their medical needs, where are they housed, how much is shearing? who pays the vet bill? Is it cheaper than paying health insurance? just askin
