Ewe better believe it.

Manhattans Basilica of Old St. Patricks Cathedral has welcomed three new lambscapers that will spend the next six weeks tending to the churchyards grounds and bringing a rustic scene to the hustle and bustle of city living.

The newest members of the flock named Houston, Prince and Spring, according to the New York Post are the fifth group of sheep to be brought to the church and will spend their visit grazing on the historic grounds.

Its a tradition at the church since 2014. Monsignor Donald Sakano has said previously that the idea started with a conversation he had with a groundskeeper who was planning to retire.

I joked, What do you expect me to do now, get sheep? he said. The second I said it I thought, That might be a good idea, even though I knew nothing about sheep-keeping here in New York City.
