See some vegetable matter (VM)? Take that as a good sign. It means the sheep have happy lives frolicking in fields. It also means that the VM hasn't been burned out the wool. This usually happens via a process called carbonization. It involves sulfuric acid, lots of water, and may cause harm to mill workers. The VM can be picked out as you work.
