several times over in labor costs. That’s
why the UniGROW36O system is so

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, February 24, IMS-Bit,
Thirteen years later, this little
farm has grown into a full-time
business: selling farm fresh lambs
to housewives in Pittsburgh and
surrounding areas, shipping lamb
kolbasa at Easter and lamb salami
at Christmas time, and breeding,
showing and selling quality
replacement ewes and rams. Now,
people compliment us on how
much we have done to this small
farm and what good business per
sons we are. But between you and
me, all we have done it put fence,
water, and animals on the land.
We open and close gates six to
seven months out of the year, and
the sheep do the rest. By the way,
my husband Jim never did need to
buy me that large, comfortable,
riding lawn mower.
