Sheep Turn A Local Community Garden Into An All-Lambs-Can-Eat Buffet in Washington DC
The sheep are blissfully chomping away on the weeds as onlookers crone on about their cuteness and phones keep snapping pictures. At one point, a few of the animals lie down.

For Ice Cream, Monty, Mr. Snuggles, and the other sheep here at the Grow Community Garden, it’s a bah-utiful day.
Close to a dozen, fluffy, hungry, adorably-named sheep are munching away on weeds and clovers at this student-run community garden on the campus of George Washington University.
They are from Fairfax-based Lamb Mowers and were hired to help clear the land and prepare the garden for the spring planting season.
“They love to eat a diversity of plants. And so when you have a diversity of weeds sprouting up in your yard, that is a buffet for the sheep,” owner Cory Suter tells DCist/WAMU. “They absolutely love it.”
Suter started Lamb Mowers just over two years ago and the company promotes itself as having the “safest and cutest weed-control services in the DMV.”
