RE: Walk With Me: Wintertime Rotational Feeding of Hay to Sheep - An Update

in #walkwithme7 years ago

Nice photos! I especially love the first one. I have thought about getting sheep one day, but for now the goats keep me pretty busy. What kind of sheep do you have? Do you feed them purely alfalfa? Or is it a grass mix? Thanks for sharing! :)

Thanks for saying that wisewoof! The breed is Border Leicester. On this homestead I work for they are being fed pure alfalfa at the moment. Other homesteads I have worked with feed alfalfa and supplement with some grain and malted grain. I have worked with farmers that also supplement with some seaweed for diverse minerals. I have worked with dairy goats on a few farms and really enjoy their personalities and quirks!!
