I once mixed some fine Persian cat hair in with wool in a wall hanging. Wool is wool. It can have different properties, but it is still wool. It was a lovely soft grey colour and it looked good.
Using sheep and alpacas is a sustainable way to control grass. Sheep can create more sheep. Lawn mowers just can't do that.
Sheep get fat and happy from mowing the grass. Lawn mowers need fuel and maintenance.
I wonder, can alpacas handle the cold Manitoba winters. I know they would only be mowing in the warm weather, but they have to winter somewhere. Maybe they could move south as it gets cold and earn their way eating weeds. In the spring they could come back and start to work.
I like the idea.
