Instead of firing up noisy lawn equipment, hundreds of residents are calling in a team from a company called Lamb Mowers, where adorable Babydoll Southdown sheep handle the job naturally, quietly, and with plenty of charm.

The company transports its friendly flock to homes and businesses across the area, where the sheep get straight to work munching through overgrown weeds, including poison ivy. Once they arrive, temporary fencing is set up if needed, and then the sheep are released to do what they do best.

According to the company’s website, “Starting at $195 for a two hour visit, our sweet Babydoll Southdown flock will weed-eat, feed, and mow your lawn while their Shepherd assists, serving you and caring for your land.”

The idea began back in 2015 when founder Cory, known affectionately as “Shepherd Cory,” purchased a farm in Fairfax County and noticed just how effective the sheep were at clearing unwanted vegetation.

What started as a mowing service quickly evolved into a specialized weed removal business that has become both practical and wildly entertaining.

Customers say the sheep often attract curious neighbors and delighted children who stop to watch the animals happily graze through yards.

“It was wonderful,” customer Stephanie Brander said. “It was two hours and they got more done than I could have in a week. And they were fun to watch.”

For larger properties, the company even offers overnight visits called “Sheep-overs,” allowing the flock to stay and continue working through tougher jobs.

But for many customers, the experience goes far beyond lawn care.

“We bring joy everywhere we go,” Cory said. “Our sheep are just really friendly sweet animals that love to say hi to people and just kind of lower your blood pressure when you get to be near them.”
