Viking sheep conquer East Flanders as ecological grazers: "Herd expanded from 9 to 1,000 sheep"

In East Flanders, Hebridean or Viking sheep are increasingly used for ecological grazing, helping to maintain natural areas by eating various plants, including toxic ones. Starting with 9 sheep, the population has grown to 1,000, managed by Greensheep. These hardy sheep thrive in harsh conditions and can graze year-round, making them popular among private individuals and local governments. They provide maintenance without the need for machinery or chemicals, promoting biodiversity. Currently, they graze in various locations, including an old railway bed and a solar park, where they help control invasive species.
