Question 5

How did sheep get their name?

Accepted Answer

Sheep are believed to have been domesticated from the wild mouflon in Mesopotamia. They were first introduced to Europe by the Romans, and then later brought to North America by European settlers. Sheep were originally called "sheep" because they were kept in herds, or flocks, and would graze together.

Sheep get their name from a combination of two words: "sheep" and "flock." The word "flock" comes from an Old English word meaning a group of animals that move together as one.

Question 6

Do sheep eat grass or hay?

Accepted Answer

Sheep eat both grass and hay.
Grass is the primary food for sheep, but they also need hay to provide fiber in their diet.
Some people may not know that hay is an important part of a sheep's diet because it's often stored away from the animals and fed to them only when needed.
