Sheep clear space for power line

THE Public Service Company of New Hampshire, USA, has brought in 500 sheep to clear a 13-mile stretch of overgrown vegetation for a new power line.

A spokesman said using sheep was cheaper than cutting away the vegetation by hand and avoided the environmental side-effects of herbicides.
