They can be. Leafy spurge is an invasive species and the land managers 
decided sheep grazing on the hillsides would be more ecologically friendly 
than herbicides. It was all very bucolic and even included a traditional 
sheep wagon. The sheep ate everything except leafy spurge. The area where 
they were penned for the night was eaten down to mineral soil and still 
hasn't recovered after 10 years. 

After the photo ops the sheep were removed and Tordon herbicide was 
applied. I don't know why but the sheep farmer switched to goats.
