In general, dead or living parts of plants needs need to be removed to improve the shape or growth of the plant. Pruning grape vines grapevines must be done very carefully. Only a targeted area of the leaves is removed from the lower part of the vines helps to help the grapes grow better.

But at the Featherstone Winery, no man or machine does the pruning. Instead, the job is done by 40 cute, little woolly wooly lambs.

David Johnson owns the vineyard. He says he learned about using lambs while visiting winery wineries in New Zealand.

In addition, using the lambs costs much less than hiring workers to prune the wines vines for 7 weeks in the summer. And when the pruning is done in Augest August, the lambs -- well, you might not want to know this part. They become lamb chops. tasty once Tasty ones, says David JonsonJohnson.
