Exploring the pasture
Hey everyone! I'm new here. I have had sheep for only a few months. I have 4 katahdin crosses, three ewes and a ram, all under age 2. This morning I neglected to close the lid on the chicken scratch grain 5-gallon bucket and the sheep got into it. I usually give them pellets and a handful or two of grain each, in addition to pasture. So this was way over the amount they usually get. They consumed maybe a third or slightly more of the bucket of grain between the four of them before I noticed. My ram is around 100 lbs, but my smallest, youngest ewe is probably only 35-40 pounds.
I know this is not a good situation, but I don't know exactly what to do.
Thanks!
