What other plants dont sheep eat ??

Besides daffodils ?? they wont touch them.



Runner beans were eaten and just about evrything else foliage wise

What other plants dont sheep eat ??
Sheep don't eat plants of sedge family (Cyperaceae), Rush family (Juncaceae), Arrow-grass family (Juncaginaceae) and Rannoch-rush family (Scheuchzeriaceae), because they know, that they don't stomach these plants.

Dock (Rumex) and old stinging nettle (Urtica) they don`t like too.

There are a lot of plants which are poisonous for sheep like Rhododendron, yew (Taxus) and Salton milkvetch (Astragalus crotalariae ) and their instinct forbids them to eat these species.
Reply:Prickly Pears!
Reply:Barrell cactus.
Reply:Pine trees?



Can't imagine a sheep wolfing down one of those anyway
