Sheep grazing Leonetti Cellars Serra Pedace vineyard near Walla Walla, Washington. A beautiful example of sustainable farming practices in action: The sheep, a Marino breed, love to eat broad-leaf weeds, especially purple and tumble mustard as well as fiddleneck and vetch. After the sheep clean up the weeds they will mow the crested wheat grass, and other native grasses while adding organic material back to the ground & cleaning up the weeds before they go to seed. Once the vines begin bud break the Peruvian sheep herder will bring his herd of 550 sheep to higher pastures in the mountain.
