Perhaps there might be a storyline in it; Sheep - they provide so many products!

With energy prices ever increasing and the need to insulate properties,
there is, or should be a need for more sheep to provide the wool as it
provides excellent insulating properties - not just for clothing but for
the fabric of buildings too. It is of course a good antidote for
microplastic pollution and has stood the test of time too. They (sheep)
produce by-products to improve the soil, and for the carnivores, there are
many tasty cuts to be had. DonrCOt know if we have a need for much lanolin these day but I am sure there are other sheep related products available
from the ovine fraternity.

How about a rumour in Ambridge about a move for a large flock being bred, providing the Eds of the world with employment along with industry that
would probably upset LindiPops to process the various ovine-based
products?

Were you listening to Farming Today, today? At least I think it was Farming Today and I think it was this morning - I'm never much good early on. Through the grogginess I think they were talking about some of the difficulties and how they were trying to overcome them. Somebody said the price of wool was so low that they didn't even try to market it anymore.

Whenever I hear the word ovine, I think ovine aviation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vkw2DdoskPY - "they do not so much fly,
as plummet". 56 years old but I still remember lots of it! (I must have
seen it in the 1970s.)
