If it keeps them safe, good work scientists.

Better then developing new weapons In my opinion.

Great work. Hope there is enough demand to get the wool industry back on its feet.

The sheep industry is booming at the moment. Farmers on the east coast are restocking, and demand for lamb has sent the price going from 50cents a head at it's worst, to $250 a head.

I think chicken is back on the menu.........

Due to the Queensland flooding there is a current world-wide shortage of wool, which has been exacerbated by a global cotton shortage as well. Fiber products will certainly be in demand for some time to come.

That shorn seems like a good idea. Ewe gotta hand it to those scientists. mutton beats innovation like that.
