[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 4936770, member: 5764"] I don't have any sheep. I've done similar with the cows. Also did a lot of ground feeding of hay to help build up biomass and spread seeds from it around. But there comes a point when there's just too much snow for that to be very feasible. Plus it only works really well for the immediate area around the barn, the farther corners of the acreage are a bit more inconvenient. That and most of the hay is orchard grass and timothy and not the greatest at seeding itself from hay. And the chickens really enjoy picking through the cow patties :LOL: And the black birds, and the house sparrows and the chickadees and the magpies and the flickers....:facepalm: Kind of figure between ground feeding when and where possible, seeing through poop and frost seeding, they can all compliment and cover different areas/times/species and help add variety.
