In and out of the hospital for 2 major surgeries. And I'm still not done. I'm on disability leave, mostly stuck in bed with ice packs on my surgery incisions. Not fun. I took the sheep back from the farm to enjoy here while I recover. My husband Bob is combing the wool off Sasha, so later on I can spin it.
Up in Ojai, the ewes had a bumper crop of lambs, mostly rams. I have to sell the ram lambs off, and I hope to sell them to someone who wants to use them for clearing weeds and brush. It would be a great business opportunity for someone with a truck around here (Ventura County or maybe Malibu area).
Meanwhile the world is fighting over oil and nuclear power is poisoning the ocean. How about something sustainable, wind, solar, biofuels? I heard a long time ago about the potential of tidal energy, whatever happened to that?
Even though I'm sick, I still plan to promote sheep as an alternative to conventional weed abatement and fire suppression in Southern California. The USDA has an article on their website on this, its really been succesful elsewhere. I've also seen articles on how sheep are best at controlling weeds around solar energy panel outlays. Then there's the manure, which can be used for fertilizer or biofuel, replacing petrochemicals in both cases.
If you are interesting and buying some sheep and starting an environmental weed and brush abatement business, post a comment with a way to contact you.
