Background of the photos : I live in a village built around a medieval 
castle and its fortifications. Regularly clearing up its glacis from trees 
and bramble to preserve the site and sights is time, sweat, and money 
consuming to say the least. 
So some friends and I have had the project of using sheep as cheap cleaners 
but this required an initial clean up, and electric fences in the downhill 
parts.That?s what we?ve been kept busy doing over the last months. 

It all started in the late fall

The mighty team at the end of the first day.

Finally, yesterday was ?  Inauguration Day ?, and the first four sheep were 
released. I might now find more time for photography as a result :-)

The masterminds of Operation Sheep and, in his shorts, the shepherd who 
selected the sheep for their ability to live in these conditions.
