Dike sheep on the North Sea

The sheep is one of the oldest farm animals and has always provided people with wool,
Meat, milk, hides and manure. In addition - and especially in Schleswig-Holstein -
the shepherds and their flocks of sheep fulfill important social tasks such as
Coastal protection, landscape management, environmental and nature protection. This is how sheep farming plays
play a decisive role, for example, in the natural maintenance of less fertile areas
Preservation of biodiversity, as well as in the fight against erosion and flooding.
Coastal protection, especially on the west coast, would not be possible without dike sheep farming
conceivable in the simple and inexpensive form as it is well known. Sheep
keep the sward short and kick the body of the dike firmly. This gives him his
Stability to withstand storm surges and protect people and animals.Source and details: schleswig-holstein.de/DE/Fachinhalte/T/tierschutz/Downloads/Handreich.pdf?__blob=publicationFile&v=2
