Grasses and similar low-growing plants are the staple food of wild sheep. They seldom eat the twigs of trees and shrubs that are so important to deer and moose. Wheatgrass, fescues, bluegrasses, and sedges are important foods. Clover, peavine, lupines, pasture sage, dwarf willow, and cinquefoil are eaten where available. Wild sheep eagerly seek mineral licks containing salts, mainly in spring and summer. During the winter they paw through shallow snow to find food on relatively small ranges of south-facing, exposed grassland.
