Yes Sheep and Alpacas are very happy to mow our lawns! Some people I know nearby have seven sheep in a half acre orchard and those sheep keep everything nice and tidy around the trees.
And, when it is done carefully and with respect, there is no harm at all in taking the sheep's wool. In fact NOT taking it especially during hot weather is unfair to the sheep.
There are some interesting things which can be done with wool. The above beautiful pictures of tartans being one good idea.
By the way I knew a woman once who mixed her dog's moulting hair in with sheep's wool and spun it and dyed it and knitted some amazing sweaters!
