No it depends on the type of mould but most moulds make the hay unpalatable and some actually produce mycotoxins that can kill the sheep or make it very ill.

What animals can eat moldy hay?
Yes, but it's highly unrecommended to feed her such hay, especially if she's pregnant and/or lactating, as it will cause her to abort her calf and/or milk production to decrease. Even if fed this hay, even to growing cattle, they quite often will choose to not eat it, but if there's nothing else to eat, they will eat it. They may get sick from it, especially if the dust gets in their nostrils and they start getting respiratory issues, and especially if that's all your feeding them. I suggest saving that moldy hay as bedding, and switching to better hay, or be careful what animals you are feeding the hay to.

Where do you keep sheep food?
Hay should be kept either in a hay mow, or in a pile where the sheep cannot reach it. Grains should be kept either in a separate grain room or in a safe spot that the sheep will not be able to reach it (even if they escape pens).
