All in a Days Work
Eleven mountain sheep are caught on film
as they traversed up an extremely steep canyon wall. Watch as two
babies narrowly escape serious injury as they fall about twenty feet to a
narrow ledge. Wait for the end of the movie to see how high the sheep
were as well as the slope. Location: Canyon Lake, Apache Junction, AZ
Note: This video was filmed on a very windy day and on a boat looking
back at the mountain. We were lucky to film this shot.When I zoom back,
you can see how far I am from the sheep.

Find Out How Many Goats (or Guinea Pigs) It Would Take to Mow Your Lawn
As fun as it is to cut your lawn with a riding mower, they can be expensive to operate and maintain. Even the push variety end up costing you in the manual labor department, so you might want to consider putting a team of animals to the task.
But how many goats, sheep, chickens, guinea pigs, or cows would one actually need to mow a lawn in a single day? It's a question that mankind has asked since the ancient Greeks, and one that is finally answered with this handy online calculator. It turns out that in order to mow the typical American lawn that's roughly a third of an acre in size you'll need 10 goats, just two cows, or a small army of 523 guinea pigs. And while the initial investment might be steep, just remember that these animals basically feed themselves, and what they leave behind will serve as a fantastic and free fertilizer.
If you know how big your property is, you can try it for yourself here:
