Description
So what mistakes do you need to be aware of when it comes to introducing your sheep to new feed like grain or pellets? We can end up killing our sheep with kindness by introducing too much too soon. In this episode we explore how to start your sheep on a new feeding regime and even if you need to do this at all. How much to give each type of sheep and what can you do to ensure they transition to a new feed well. What are the signs of a sheep who has had too much grain and what can you do about it if it happens.
