Dandelions Remediated by Sheep Pasture Test in Elbert County
The Elbert County courthouse lawn in Colorado faced heavy dandelion infestation.

The flock moved between pastures weekly, eating dandelions blossoms and buds and stunting growth, proving pasture grazing an effective weed control method though earlier placement would have yielded better results.
