Instead of having lawn mowers, everyone keeps a pet cow that eats the grass.

Nah, you will be better off with an army of guinea pigs. They will be able to nibble up grass in every tiny nook and cranny of the lawn.

I tried that - three guinea pigs decimated my lawn - I am guessing they ripped it out by the roots.

Now I’m imagining a Guinea pig army launching an assault on next door. Rather than miniguns they could have mini guns.

Yeah, I hope your yard is about an acre, because cows eat way more than the typical suburban lawn can provide

Let's use animals that are a huge vector for human disease. Can't possibly go wrong.

This reminds me of the time I found a calf tethered to a riding lawn mower on someone's front lawn.

Maybe goat would be better. And did you know you can rent goats to clear your garden

I would love to have goats as my lawnmower. My yard is full of the noxious plants that goats love. Unfortunately, my city sez no. I can’t rent-a-goat either even for weed abatement.

They will eat grass, weeds, tree saplings, tree leaves and branches.. They will basically eat any vegitatian. So if you want to kill your garden..get goats 👍

Do you think a goat would eat thousands of fallen apples

That makes sense, but what happens to the cow pats?

[-]

SentenceAwkward5302@reddit

The pats can be used to create compost but i still would go with sheep. The milk alone can be used for multiple purposes as does the wool. Cows only have leather as a by-product.

You can get a lot more out of cow than leather; everything you can get out of a sheep besides wool, and in much bigger quantities. The real issue would be who has a yard big enough to sustain a cow?

The Pats created a ton of compost in the Super Bowl this year

Sheep is a better idea. Wool for clothing, etc... You can milk them. And eventually eat them. Less space, protection/shelter, food/water needed. Goats would be up there if they didn't eat more than just grass..

Sheep have the nasty habit of eating grass by pulling it up roots and all. Allegedly a major reason for the old west range wars between cattlemen and sheepherders.
