Sheepmowers

After an unexpected delay, the Sheepmowers One-Day Grazing Extravaganza has been rescheduled for Tuesday, June 9th!

The Quad
9:00 AM – 3:00 PM

Need a break from final projects, studying, or exams? Stop by before or after your test to spend some time with the flock, take a few photos, grab some Sheepmowers merch, and enjoy a little stress relief in the middle of Finals Week.

We’ll also have:
The new 2026 Sheepmowers poster
Limited-edition Grad-Ewe-ation stickers
Plenty of sheep

Whether you’re celebrating the end of the quarter or just need a moment to unwind, come spend some time with the woolliest study buddies on campus.

See ewe on the Quad!

UPDATE FROM THE FLOCK
Due to an unexpected sheep-related logistical hiccup, tomorrow’s Sheepmowers One-Day Grazing Extravaganza on the Quad has been postponed.

The sheep have informed us that they are currently unable to make their scheduled appearance and have requested a rain check on their grazing duties. While we were looking forward to spending the day with all of you, the flock’s health, safety, and transportation come first.

We’re working on rescheduling the event and will announce a new date as soon as we have one. The good news: the 2026 Sheepmowers poster, stickers, merch, and grad-ewe-ation stickers aren’t going anywhere!

Thank you for your understanding and patience. We promise the sheep are just as disappointed as you are.

Stay tuned for updates—and we’ll see you on the Quad soon.

The 2026 Sheepmowers poster has arrived!

Our brand-new 2026 Sheepmowers poster is here, featuring the flock in all their woolly glory and designed by graduating senior and Shepherd Extraordinaire Jacquelyne Escobedo. We may be biased, but we think it’s baa-utiful.

11” × 17” posters available for sale at the Event

9am - 3pm
ONE DAY GRAZING EXTRAVAGANZA!

Come watch our muralist work his magic as he paints some of the final touches (and fills in the high spots) of the Sheep Shift mural!

THIS WEEK!!! Grab a paintbrush and help bring a new campus mural celebrating sustainability at UC Davis to life during two community painting days on April 16 and 17 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. (previously Feb. 19 and 20). Everyone is welcome to participate. No art experience is required, just a willingness to jump in and get a little paint on your hands.

The mural is located on the side of a temporary utility building in central campus, west of Wickson Hall and across the street from Asmundson Hall (near the corner of California Ave. and N. Quad). The building houses mechanical equipment critical to the completion of the Big Shift, a large-scale construction project that lays the groundwork for reducing UC Davis’ reliance on fossil fuels by 80% when complete.

Quick reminder that we’ll be painting the Sheep Shift mural next week on April 16th and 17th at 242 California Ave from 11am - 3pm.

Sheep Shift: Endless Possibilities is the winning mural design by Kimberly Morales Mcmullen, a student artist double-majoring in cinema and digital media and design. The design celebrates one of UC Davis’ most ambitious carbon reduction efforts — the Big Shift — through one of its most beloved and visible symbols: the Sheepmowers. Positioned at the heart of the mural, the sheep represent creative, living solutions to campus care and carbon reduction, embodying the spirit of the Big Shift project.

Sheepmowers featured in cover story of The Shepherd Magazine! Yep, our favorite fluffballs graced the cover of February’s “guide for sheep and farm life” and were the focus of a four page article. Let’s hope the fame doesn’t go to their heads!!

Our Community Painting Day has been postponed due to rain (and yucky weather). Join us instead on April 16–17 from 11 am–3 pm to help bring the mural to life. We look forward to painting together under clearer and warmer skies.
