Free choice hay and maybe a cup of Feed. Hard to say without more information. Are they pregnant, skinny, fat, do they have any available pasture or browse or it It a field of snow until spring thaw? What kind of hay do you have, what is available? Hair Sheep, wool breed?

I actually have 4 sheep but are butchering at least 2 in a few months. I also have some alfalfa. Could I give them that?

Where was gonna be my question, too. Put some location in your profile, it makes a difference for replies most of the time. Weather plays a huge role in how/what many animals are fed and need....along with all the things Bay has asked.

They are not hair or wool sheep. They are meat sheep. We are going to butcher 2 soon, and the other 2 around the start of winter.🐑🥩
