Yes, sheeps wool is being used instead of fibre glass to insulate the loft space (attic). Sounds like a good idea to me, or do you think it might be a baaaad idea?

Well, it has worked for the sheep all these years, hasn't it?  Organic insulation - I like it!  I do hope they plan ahead and shear the sheep during warmer weather and store the fleece for later use rather than shearing the sheep when it's so cold.  BRRRR!!!!!
