exactly. we should have all our animal agriculture be seperate in more factory style conditions. These sheep should be penned and fed off feed like normal.
17 5 ReplyYou can have sheep without solar or sheep with solar. Not having sheep isn't an option on the table.
Either be happy about the solar or don't comment.
