I have my Sheep and i would want to start rearing goats as well. Can you help me know how these two can relate with each other?
Sheep can live with goats on the same pasture, provided that they have ample space to avoid each other if they choose, with one major caveat: goats can eat minerals formulated for sheep, but sheep can not have access to minerals formulated for goats; minerals for goats have copper supplemented in them, and sheep are highly susceptible to copper toxicity.
Some goats may be a bit too rambunctious for your sheep residents, and those with horns could cause injury if they are being too playful or are confrontational towards the sheep. If your sheep residents seems stressed by living with particular goats, you’ll need to find another living arrangement that keeps everyone safe and happy.
Sheep should also have no trouble sharing an outdoor space with birds such as chickens, turkeys, geese, and ducks, provided that all species have their specific needs taken care of (like dust baths accessible for chickens or turkeys or accessible ponds for ducks and geese). Ensure that there is plenty of space to avoid any situations where a bird (especially a mobility impaired resident) might get caught underfoot from a sheep.
