Going fast

The sheep are working on the grass. With the shortness of daylight and cooler weather the grass is resting for the winter. Moved the bred ewes to the front pasture that still has lots of green grass for grazing. If there is any grass at all my sheep will graze, and turn their nose up at the best of hay, goats will eat hay anytime of year. Goats can never get their fill of roughage, it's what keeps them healthy. Took me a few years to figure that out. If you keep hay out year round for goats, they will stay healthy. Goats are browsers, not grazers, and once the browse is gone, they need hay. Goats need more protein than sheep, browse has more protein than grass. Those trees, blackberry, honeysuckle, leaves, and wild plants have lots of good stuff in them. Just ask a goat.
