Looking at the goat section and realising that I can feed some fruit to my goats as well as swead and carrots, can I feed these also to my sheep, maybe not the inlamb girls but what about the others? Like to give them something other than flaked maize and sheep crunch.

Mine have never been keen in carrots and I worry about choke with carrots, but they do like a swede. In fact we are getting an old boy up in the spring to plough 1/4 acre next to the veg plot and he has a seed riddle so we are going to sow swedes for the sheep there.

Mine love turnip - I cut into quarters and throw it about and usually all gone in a day or so :thumbsup:
-
Clearly something else to plant come the spring :sunshine: thank you
-
We gave ours some veg on Christmas Day - they had some carrot peelings, some swedes and some sprouts. They ate the lot! :yum:
-
Mine love carrot sticks and apples.

A lot of sheep are wintered on turnips (you southern lot would call them swedes) up here.

Confusingly, lot of sheep are wintered on turnips - thats the small white things, not swedes down here.
