[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 7437480, member: 63856"] It's great feed, they just always don't work out how to get past the prickles by themselves. Have you noticed that some herds will eat a bale and leave all the thistles in the bottom of the ring, but other herds eat the thistles too? If I gave you a cape gooseberry or a walnut for the first time you might not work out that it was actually food, unless I opened it and showed you. Sheep will eat grass if that's all they've got. Or brassicas. Or whatever! Put them somewhere without grass and they'll go back to browsing trees and bushes and herbs like they did before people grew grass to feed them with. Like most of the sheep in the world still do.... browse The thing is that because we see sheep in bright green fields of grass then we set that in our minds as a baseline: that "that's just what sheep do" and not "that's just another thing that sheep can live on" ( The availability heuristic/bias is made of two main things: What we remember quickly What we mainly see ) [/QUOTE]
