| Sheep Grazing on the Whitehouse lawn |

|
There were sheep that grazed on the White House lawn during Wilson's administration. To cut groundskeeping costs during World War I, President Woodrow Wilson (1913-21) brought a flock of sheep to trim the White House grounds. Included in the flock was Old Ike, a tobacco-chewing ram. |
