Yes, holly (Ilex spp.) is toxic to sheep. The leaves and berries contain compounds that can cause gastrointestinal distress, respiratory issues, and even more severe health problems if ingested in large quantities. It's important for sheep owners to prevent access to holly and other toxic plants to ensure the health and safety of their flock. If ingestion occurs, it’s advisable to consult a veterinarian.
