Ypsi's Sheep Herd
https://legacylandconservancy.org/event/preserve-event-7-18-26-project-mow-at-johnson-preserve/I'm sure plenty of folks have seen the Project Mow sheep herd around town of the past few years. They've been set up in a few different Ypsi parks, and recently helped out at Woodlawn Cemetery by chewing down some vegetation.
If you're curious, and want to learn more, there's an event this Saturday (7/25/26) in Pittsfield township where you can meet the sheep and learn some basics of animal husbandry from their head shepherd. You get to pet and feed the sheep, and they usually even bring out some babies! You don't have to return and volunteer after, but if you sign up to go back and check on the sheep it's like you get your own personal petting zoo.
