We now feed grass nuts but they’re still 16% protein!  So still need to be sparing. Many of ours will eat from the hand now :hugsheep: ::D
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Or sugar beet nuts.

Mine happily come for a piece of stale bread bit of windfall fruit or luzerne granules which rattle nicely in a bucket. Their favourite? Dried apricots :-)
