I would agree with that. They can certainly knock the vegetation back when their numbers aren't controlled.Quote:

Yeah,when the big mobs were around they certainly cleaned up in different areas for sure.
It was also proved after many years of survey work that the Merinos were doin just as much damage and in many areas,more damage than Thar.
When DOC arrived on the scene all the research etc was given to them and just as quick it all disappeared,the sheep came out winners and DOC had their own experts.
DOC are destructive also,we don't want them breeding eh.Quote:
