With sheep, at least, you really need to limit their access to the round bale if the hay is of any quality. Otherwise they will eat two or three times as much as they need. I am feeding by hand off of the round bale. Another option is giving them access for several hours per day only. <br /><br />Look up online for more specifics about feeding hay to sheep in the winter. I am feeding a good quality hay and giving only 3 to 5lbs per day per head to my ewes.Brianhttp://www.twitter.com/briandepewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35188043.post-37238864384879309092010-12-01T19:57:37.459-06:002010-12-01T19:57:37.459-06:00I love winter, but I hate traveling in it.

It's one of the great tragedies of modern life that we life so outside of nature that not only are we destroying winter, long term, we've made it part of our everyday life that we must in some ways act contrary to its nature and travel in it.<br /><br />I listen to a lot of podcasts, but haven't found any good ones on this theme other than the one you mention. Lots of good history, etc., ones, however.Yeomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13907293659510877574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35188043.post-81506285953372628012010-12-01T18:49:01.146-06:002010-12-01T18:49:01.146-06:00Now that you have had sheep for a while, what are ...Now that you have had sheep for a while, what are your thoughts on adding sheep to the farm?Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412944120622315804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35188043.post-57596647675449703212010-12-01T13:17:46.970-06:002010-12-01T13:17:46.970-06:00Ah Winter Time.

Where we live the radio stations are iffy. Always chores to do -- but I'll bet there will come a time in our life when we wished we still had a few more chores to do!

You're doing a good job.<br /><br />Isn't a great feeling to go to bed at night tired but content in the knowledge that you've done everything you could to provide for your livestock's needs and comfort. <br /><br />God Bless,<br />Mary JoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35188043.post-78145086690428818522010-12-01T08:36:19.953-06:002010-12-01T08:36:19.953-06:00Hi Ethan,
