Mostly sheep eat grass, clover, forbs, and other pasture plants. They especially love forbs. In fact, it is usually their first choice of food in a pasture. A forb is a broad-leaf plant other than grass. It is a flowering plant. Forbs are often very nutritious.
Salt should be regularly available to sheep. Mineralized salt specifically for sheep is best and helps prevent bloating. The important thing to keep in mind with sheep diets and feed is balance. An example recipe might be: Mix 50 lb of shelled corn, 20 lb of oats, 20 lb wheat bran, and 10 lb of linseed meal. Table 1 shows feed requirements for growing sheep.
