I spend far to much time sort of "inside inside" and this leads to all kinds of problems. I worked for a couple of summers as a golf caddy, which my parents thought was good because it was convenient to our house, age-appropriate and paid well and in cash. I mostly enjoyed it, except for those eye-opening moments when I first saw adults cheat. I was incredibly shocked when this happened. Shepherding sounds great, but I can imagine that there are all kinds of problems that come with having responsibility for a large herd of valuable animals.

What you say about the animal husbandry innovations is probably what made the Telegraph reader suspect that this is really an EU-sponsored initiative, but the article doesn't contain a lot of detail. Pecorino Fresco looks really great. I'd like to try it, here or preferably in Italy.
