    new to sheep!

    I have some questions. Will they be fine in a 3-sided shelter all year? If they aren't in a large pasture how much hay and feed should be fed? Does hog paneling make good fencing for sheep? I plan on having only 2 or 3 sheep for 4H! Thanks!

    cages?

    I keep my show birds at my dad's house (20-25 miles from moms). My question is: can i keep my chickens in cages? they would have to be outside but are mostly wood so how well would that work in wintery conditions? i could cover them with plastic during the winter months.
