So what is the natural grazing behaviour of sheep and how does it compare to a goat or cow. When should my sheep be feeding/eating and for how long? No doubt there are all thoughts you have had while ruminating on your sheep! Well in this episode I explore my own observations and research on the topic of sheep grazing behaviour.
 Enjoy ruminating on this one!

Here are the big words I mentioned:
Crepuscular pattern - grazing at twilight and dusk

Photosynthetic activity in plants in then afternoon
