By not eating the grass they do give me a convenient place to put the lambs (more like rambs at this point).Chai Chaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845100961653150736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1353764878995672966.post-70402620231713008852012-08-04T16:23:57.160-07:002012-08-04T16:23:57.160-07:00I have 2 colors here too ........ green and brown,...I have 2 colors here too ........ green and brown, LOL. Sheep prefer grass cause they are grazers, goats are browsers and prefer more woody coarse type of feed such as berry vines, poison oak, rose bushes and other types of brush. Although I planted some trees and my Dorper sheep managed to push the fence in and almost wiped out my young trees.
