According to Tampa Electric, which supplies electricity to the state of Florida, they hired sheep to serve as environmentally-friendly “lawn mowers”. 
Company representatives clarify: keeping sheep instead of classic mechanical mowers is much more economical. The company selected only Katahdin sheep for work. These sheep have hair instead of ordinary wool, which contributes to better body thermoregulation and protects them from overheating. The workers claim that the animals are completely safe: they chew grass behind the fence, and also have shade, water, and shelter where they can spend the night or hide from the weather.
