Hi,
I just wondered if anyone feels it's appropriate for people (without your consent) feeding your sheep 'treats' (parsnips etc whilst digging their allotments)? I have some of my ewes and their lambs near an allotment, and the grass is running low (I am due to move them) and so I feed them twice a day to maintain their nutrition.
Am I within my right, respectively, to say, or put a note up saying, please don't feed my sheep without my consent, they are fed twice a day (the orphan lamb 3 times a day), and feeding them treats could be 'overfeeding' them'?
My sheep are very friendly and run towards me when they see me, so I am wondering if people are confusing this when with they see the sheep, thinking that they are hungry! I just know I wouldn't feed anyone's livestock/pet etc without consent!
Thank you in advance for your opinion.
