How much does a sheep eat a day?

Answer 1

Sheep need different amounts of food depending on the breed and how old they are.

my sheep at home eat with me at the dinner table and so they get a variety of food and drink. their favourite is grass drizzled with a tad of olive oil and vinegar and then topped with some breadcrumbs on a bed of barely.

Answer 2

I'm in 4-H. Where I raise market projects for slaughter. I feed my weathers whole barley (easier to digest then rolled barley and less likely to choke on it). I add some sheep mineral to it. I choose a brome/alfalfa hay which i fork every day. A average animal of any kind will eat a maximum of 3% of their body weight each day. If your market animals are not eating well i suggest adding dried molasses, for a little sweetening.

My flock of 60 are fed free choice hay and whole barley during lambing season. During the summer they are fed on pasture.

Hopefully this helps!
