Corps refrain from mentioning with these 10,000- 100,000 sheep 'farms' what happens to old sheep, what happens to the offspring of those wool sheep.

They don't just clip the wool off twice a year 'sustainable', they breed them and use the offspring as a $$ 'product' too. In Corp talk, if those sheep eat just grass and breed, produce offspring. that operation is 'sustainable'.
