Lamb Mowers: How Sheep Are Replacing Lawn Mowers for Natural Yard Care
Meet the Sheep That Trim Your Lawn
Since 2016, Cory Suter has taken a woolly approach to lawn care. Instead of gas-powered mowers, he uses Babydoll Southdown sheep to keep his yard looking neat and tidy.
How Sheep Maintain Your Yard
These fluffy lawn care specialists do more than just eat grass. The sheep munch on weeds and trim the grass to an even height. As a bonus, they leave behind small pellets that work as natural fertilizer for the soil.
The sheep have done such a good job on Cory's own property that he decided to share their talents with others. This led him to start Lamb Mowers, a company that brings sheep directly to customers' yards.
Booking Your Woolly Lawn Care Team
Through the Lamb Mowers service, customers can book a flock of sheep for two-hour sessions. Cory comes along with his flock and sets up a temporary fence to keep them contained. During the visit, he guides the sheep around the yard and personally pulls any weeds that the sheep can't reach or can't eat.
Before and After Results
The Lamb Mowers website features impressive before-and-after photos showing the sheep's handiwork. Customers have been delighted with the results, with one happy client saying, "The sheep were a delight. I still smile when I see their pictures."
More Than Just Lawn Care
Beyond being an eco-friendly lawn care option, the sheep offer something that traditional lawn mowers can't – they help build community. Cory points out that having sheep in your yard is a wonderful way to meet your neighbors. People naturally stop by to see the unusual sight of sheep working in a suburban setting.
These adorable lawn mowers are proving that sometimes the old ways are the best ways. With no noise, no pollution, and natural fertilizer as a bonus, Lamb Mowers offers a truly green alternative to traditional lawn care.
