The living habits of sheep, what are the characteristics of baby sheep

Sheep are mainly divided into two categories: goats and sheep. Living habits: 1. Prefer a humid environment, like to live in mountainous and hilly areas or inhabit in moist and loose soil holes.

Moreover, sheep like to sleep on higher ground. 2. Females and males live alone, but live together during the breeding period 3. They like darkness, fear of sunlight, poor eyesight, sensitive hearing, like quiet, and afraid of fright.

Why sheep are suitable for grazing in the wild: because sheep are herbivores, and they have more natural enemies, and this is related to their grass-eating habits, grazing can meet its requirements for grazing. Sheep also need to be trained by grazing in the wild to maintain their genes for running.

Sheep have a plump body, a dense coat, and a short head. Rams mostly have large spiral horns that are intimidating, while ewes have no horns or small horns. The skull has a lacrimal socket and a raised nasal bone.

All hooves have toe glands. Rams have no gas. The weight ranges from 10 kilograms to more than 100 kilograms.

Its structure and habits are suitable for grazing due to its many characteristics; The tip of the mouth and lips are thin and flexible, which is conducive to feeding on short grasses, as well as thick and hard straws and branches; Strong digestive ability; Some species can accumulate fat around the tail, buttocks and internal organs for consumption when there is a shortage of winter and spring fodder; Imitation, gregariousness, and the habit of following the leader (usually the old ewe) to gather into a flock; When grazing, it is better to feed on higher grounds, and at night it is better to sleep on high places in pastureland.

Due to the thermal insulation and heat insulation of the coat, it can be cold and heat resistant; However, shortly after shearing, it is easy to get sick if the weather is suddenly cold or when it is raining. Generally prefer dryness and fear of dampness and heat. Sexual cowardice, weak self-defense, susceptible to animal damage. The natural lifespan is about 15 years.

Habits. Meek and gregarious: Sheep are docile, timid, and slow to move. With this feature, the sheep can be trained to follow commands, which is convenient for grazing management.

When suddenly frightened, the ears are erected, the eyes are wide open, running around, causing the "fried herd" to graze should pay attention to keep a quiet environment, because of cowardice, although the ram has large horns, but can not defend itself, no ability to resist, must beware of wolves and other wild beasts.

Sheep are more gregarious and prefer to gather together, which is conducive to group grazing. When the sheep go out and into the circle, cross the bridge, cross the river or pass through the narrow place, as long as there is the "head sheep" first, the rest of the sheep will follow and follow first, so although the sheep are large, it is easy to drive and manage. In terms of breeds, generally coarse wool sheep are the most gregarious, followed by fine wool sheep, and semi-fine wool sheep are the worst.

Of course, sheep are gregarious and vary from season to season. For example, in summer, the grass is abundant and the gregariousness is strong, and in the winter and spring, due to the competition for dead grass and leaves, the gregariousness is often poorer.

Meek temperament: often use the docile personality of sheep to train the sheep to obey the command, which is convenient for grazing management. Cowardly and weak:

Although the ram has large horns, it is not capable of self-defense. Picky: Do not eat odorous, contaminated or trampled forage or feed.

Feeding management: Shearing sheep in May and June every year.

1. Meek temperament

Sheep have a docile temperament and move slowly, so when raising sheep, they often use this to train the sheep to obey the command and facilitate grazing management, but if the sheep are suddenly frightened, the sheep are easy to run around, causing the effect of exploding the herd, which is not conducive to the healthy growth of sheep.

2. Timidity and weakness

Due to the small timid and weak character of sheep, although the ram has big horns, it has no ability to defend itself, and must always beware of wolves and other wild beasts.

3. Picky personality

The character of the sheep is more picky, because it has a developed sense of smell, before eating grass, like to smell with the nose, if there is a peculiar smell, polluted or trampled forage, feed will not eat, in addition to the sheep like a dry environment, has a certain cold tolerance.

4. Feeding management

In the process of raising sheep, it is necessary to shear the sheep once a year from May to June, which is conducive to their safe summer, and regularly feed carrots, potatoes, beets and other rhizomes and tubers juicy feed, pay attention to rinse the stains on the surface of the food with water before feeding.
