i have thought of having a cute little lambakin, all soft and fluffy, on hand, to manage my lawn.

Helen, the twubble with cutesy widdle wambies is that they grow up into bloody great big sheep. With minds (if you can call them that, and I don't) of their own. Especially if they are on their own.

I know sheep don't look very big in pictures, but you just try picking a fly-blown pregnant ewe up to put it on a ATV trailer or try dragging one out of a shearing shed pen onto the board to give it a No. 2 all over ... no fun at all after the first couple in either case.

You therefore do have to consider the management issues arising from having one on your back lawn!
