 Hi, what can I do to encourage my ram to eat? He is normally a good eater but seems to have lost interest today

Have you tried offering him some ivy? My sheep love eating it and it acts as a tonic and appetite stimulant.

Is he peeing? 

When you say off his food, are you feeding him hard feed, or do you mean he’s stopped grazing?
