It's common in my country to see goats and cows enjoying buffet meals on clumps of greens in both rural and urban areas. It would be quite a surprise though to hear of a similar scene transpiring in a country like the U.S. What some do not know though is that sheep really did roam freely to trim nothing less than the White House lawn.

Woodrow Wilson introduced sheep to the White House lawn during the First World War in 1917. The effort reportedly reduced lawn maintenance costs and allowed regular gardeners to participate in the war. Aside from keeping their area of assignment neat and tidy, the sheep also grew wool. Their wool was sold for thousands of dollars for the benefit of the Red Cross.
