Best Answer

Sheep cannot have copper in their diet as it contains high toxic levels. Molasses are considered to be a source of copper and therefore should not be fed to sheep.

What would your life be like if minerals were not available?

Minerals are necessary for life. There's a cute story about sheep which were dropping dead in the field. The doctors traced the problem to lack of copper in their diet! Some suggested adding organic copper to the fields, an expensive solution. One suggested throwing copper cents from an airplane; he won. The copper eventually would "weather" and add to the soil and end up in the vegetation that the sheep ate. Soon the sheep stopped dropping; goal!
