Meet 'lamb mowers,' sheep who provide lawn care

The flock is made up of 10 sheep. All of them are rescued Southdown baby doll sheep, weighing no more than 150 pounds and no taller than 24 inches.

The members of the flock include twins Ben and Jerry, Chocolate Chip, Gavroche, Snowbear, Ramsis, Thunder, Lightning, Tornado and a ram named Sunshine.

“They’re not gonna perfectly mow your lawn, but that’s the whole point ... learning how to do things sustainably, not so everything looks pretty, but so that it serves all of us and our communities better," owner Donny Greene said.
