Response to TWO QUESTIONS: WHEATIES - SHEEP

from Don Armstrong (darmst@yahoo.com.au)
As above. Sheep with cattle work well for maximum use of pasture - cattle tend to take longer, lanker vegetation that sheep don't want (wrap their tongues around it, then PULL). Sheep prefer nibbling on shorter pasture. The two together tend to get a pasture eaten down evenly. They can have a few diseases in common, but much more likely for cattle to get cattle diseases from other cattle, and sheep from sheep.
