Sheep

The Northeast US is blessed with an abundance of grazing land, which is ideal for pasture rearing of goats and sheep. However, regional surveys of goat and sheep farmers confirm that internal parasites are a major health problem contributing to animal death and lower production.

Solar grazing is the practice of grazing livestock on a solar array. Sheep are the best-suited livestock species for solar grazing as they are small enough to control vegetative growth underneath the solar panels and will not damage the solar installations by chewing cables or jumping on panels.
