I'm new to the group but not new to farming. Been farming and gardening for years. This year we added sheep to our growing hoard. January we added two babies. Here is a video of them playing the other day. Growing and getting bigger. Our Farm

They will dig for the grass under the snow, plus I have wooded areas where there isn't much snow, but it's not very nutritious right now so they are getting hay twice a day as much as they can eat during the day. Come March when things warm up they will have free access to the entire yard to eat...

No but I do have a hay provider for 2nd cut and fill my barn in the summer months while they are eating grass for the winter months lol. Not the best scenario but it works. Currently have my Momma and two babies in the barn and the rest are still grazing on the grass but get hay in the morning...
